After 2 years, several training weekends, 4000+ miles
travelled and 19 days of solid work, the classroom is finally complete.
Everyone is feeling incredibly relieved and very proud of themselves, and so
they should. And so rightly, after a few hours of cleaning up, it was time to
party, Kenyan style. Provided with song, dance, lots of food (including a
plentiful helping of cake), the school threw us a goodbye party to remember.
When asked to provide some entertainment of our own, nobody shied at the
opportunity to teach some more of our favoured songs to the Kenyan Scouts and
Guides. We built a campfire fit for Commondale and comfortably out sang the
distant rumbles of thunder (yes, again…). Anxious as we are for the 165km
journey to Naivasha tomorrow, we will all appreciate a final sleep in Marigat,
hopefully undisturbed by lightning, or the other, more annoying disturbance – cockerels
at 4am.
You stay classy Cleveland.

No thunder at home, and it should be reasonably nice when you get back. I am so glad the finish was marked this way and I am sure you will all leave tomorrow with some regret as despite the hard work you guys have left your mark and I am sure some new friends.
