A VISIT TO HANNAH'S BOMA

While we were staying at Josephine's place in Ilngarooj, we took a day to visit at Hannah's home. It was about a 30 minute walk through the bush toward the Ngong Hills.

Hannah had prepared a meal for us in her hut. She was proud to show us the home she was building that was nearly complete.

Arriving at Josephine K. home in Ilngarooj was thrilling. Some of the MWEEP sponsored girls and mothers were there to greet us as well as others from the community. This is the home of Esther our MWEEP student who finised university.

We spent several days here getting to know this family (josephine has a large shamba --garden and she is in charge of the bore hole pump. If you bring diesel she will send water to your home. if you can't afford the diesel she'll let you come to get water from her tank.

Food was delicious, my favorite sakuma wiki (sauted kale), Jon's favorite chapati (like a large tortilla), beans, rice, etc,
