Today was the day of the soccer tournament which occurs for about 8 weeks during June and July. Stephen (Maurice’s
brother), Job, and Julius were supposed to come and pick our stuff at 8 am so
we woke up at 645 am despite knowing that people are often tardy in Kenya. They ended up coming around 9:30 (sigh). They
helped us to carry the equipment and then we headed over to Obambo primary
school. What I realized so far after 2 days is that people tend to say “How are
you” before saying “Hi”. Also, because
we are foreigners, they call us white people, mzungu in Kiswahili. We asked them if Rashma and I would be considered a Mzungu because we are East/ South Asians. The
high school boys immediately identified Rashma as a 'Hindu' and me as 'China'. We laughed.
