Where is Virginia? Notes From Africa

Africa Trip No Comments

Greetings From Molo, Kenya

Sorry I have been so long in posting. I have been in Africa for almost 2 weeks and the internet connections are painfully slow.

 

Let me tell you a little about my experiences so far.  I did some organizational consulting at Watoto Wa Baraka Orphanage in Makuyu about 1.5 hours north of Nairobi. This orphanage www.WatotoWaBaraka.org has about 37 children and is working hard to improve its physical facilities and volunteer program. They have many volunteers from all over the world! I made a number of suggestions about orientation, policies, health care, facilities etc. The thing I liked most as usual was playing with the children. The director of WWB Geoffrey Ngunda (check him out on face book) is a generous man, so he asked me to come about 3hrs north to a town Called Molo. Here some friends of his are struggling to help the many local orphans.

Are your worries overrunning the good stuff in your life?

Little problems & concerns that often get blown out of proportion:

 

  • Unfair criticism
  • Doing the lion’s share of work
  • Worry, worry, worry about things you can’t control
  • Feeling misunderstood
  • Feeling unappreciated
  • Unable to change things

Lighten Up

  • Surrender to the fact that life isn’t fair
