Packing ........

Goodness me, I have a LOT of stuff to take to Kisumu and the school at Maua !


 
Lots of little items like crayons, books, our anti-malarials, a couple of wind up lamps, roll of masking tape and ball of string (without which I never travel), packets of nibbles .... nuts, dried fruit etc., for snacks and lunches for the carpentry trainees, etc. etc.


My sandals, a bubble making machine for the handicapped kids, a plane, hand-knitted jumpers ....

As charity workers, we get double normal luggage allowance on the flight, so can manage about 50 kg. in two cases and a carry-on.  Not that I could carry that much, but once off the bus at Heathrow, its trolleys for luggage !  And we are being met in Nairobi.  

Now I must consider what I'm taking in the way of clothes for me .... about 25 kg of my luggage is clothes for children, and books for them too !   I don't want to end up like I did last year when I went to Kenya .... http://luolaughter.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/braless-in-nairobi-read-on.html  ...  so that's one item already packed for me, as well as the 83 bra's Wendy and I have collected !!   Funny, we couldn't persuade Jonathan to carry any of them !

The weather in Kisumu is wet, wet, wet at the moment !   The rainy season should be coming to an end soon .... I hope !
