Mandy and I moved out of Shamba La Salama. We're renting out the beach house to generate some revenue. It didn't make any sense for the two of us to be living there by ourselves. It was quite the experience moving out the first time. We signed a deal with one home and paid three months deposit. Come to find out, the person who rented us the home wasn't really the owner as they had claimed. The real owner was furious that we were there, called the security company and had us locked out and evicted. It was so absurd. Anyway, we've found a new place (pictured above) and have been there a week now. It's quite small, but quiet and comfortable. Nora is adjusting to the new space.
I was also promoted to chief operating officer of the foundation. It came with a pay raise and more responsibility. I'm now responsible for all of the operations we have out here. It sounds more glamorous that it really is, but I'm excited and grateful for the opportunity. Aside from the occasional ridiculousness of things in Kenya, life is really good.
We're excited for Kara to come visit in June, and for my parents who will likely come in May. Also, Brad and Eliesa are coming out in September for a few months. Visitors are always exciting. Anybody who wants to come visit is welcome. Kenya is a beautiful exciting place.
I think I'll be traveling to India again and Nepal at the end of May to do some consulting for HELP International (my previous employer). I'm always up for a fun adventure. Mandy, Nora and I are coming back to the States in June for two months vacation. We are really looking forward to spending a summer in the states. It's been quite awhile.
