As I write this final blog about the orphanage and my experience here, I begin to cry once more. It's our final morning here, we spend time gathering our things and reflecting on time here. During this one of the volunteers, Inga's eyes begin to roll into the back of her head and she is about to faint. Lucky enough in front of a first aid trained flight attendant, I lie her down immediately and raise her legs and colour returns to her face. She has been aching all over, had a headache and fever for the past couple of days. Everyone here is sick with either a cold, a severe virus or we later find out after a hospital trip Maleria. She will be well looked after here by everyone and with the good medication you can get here, I'm sure she will be better in no time.
The chidren are at school, we said our final goodbyes last night at dinner. It's just the workers and volunteers left. I have a spiritual connection with these people, the children and the land, and know I will be back in the near future. My work is not yet finished, I have made a committment to continue to help these beautiful people and create awareness throughout Australia in hope I will inspire others to follow in my footsteps.
Tears fill my eyes as I say goodbye to Martha, a beautiful soul who works here and helps so many people daily in her job and I have spent so much time with over the past weeks. And Kally another volunteer I formed a strong connection with, I will miss her a lot but know I will see her again soon.
We now leave on our 2hr trip back to Naorobi, where we end our trip to Africa with a 3 day Safari in Masaai Mara..........
