We'll Have Electricity and Piped Water in Kenya!!

We just received word about our living accommodations from Chris, the program manager in Kenya. TICH, the college where Ian and I will be working, has secured a place for us. And how glorious; we'll have electricity, water, and an indoor toilet!! That's much more than I had anticipated. Here is Chris' report on visiting the house where Ian and I will be living:

"I went to TICH last week and they have rented a very pleasant guest wing attached to a house; secure and pleasant garden area, verandah, two bedrooms, piped water and power, kitchen with store, and living room. Shower room and inside toilet. About 15 minutes walk to TICH and plenty of 'boda bodas' or bicycle taxis (the common form of moving around) passing all the day! Same to town. They have yet to arrange furniture but are on to it."

Once Ian and I are in Kisumu, VSO will provide a grant to buy essentials for the house, such as plates and utensils. I'll post photos of the house after we've moved in!
