Today after I threw together a 400 word article for Worldontheweb.com, we went out - the the NICE side of town. Gigiri is where the UN, USA embassy and one of the nicest malls around are. There is a JAVA HOUSE Coffee Cafe (kinda like starbucks but more of a restuarant) there with free Wi-Fi. So I'm online - for free not counting the MBs I'm using. Mom and Jed are seeing the Bee Movie at Village Market (the mall) while Mercy, Dad and I are hanging out at Java House. Dad is uploading windows updates and I'm surfing.
Today was to first day I've left the house since Monday when I went out to interview Pastor Simon for my articles this coming week. Since then I've been busy doing follow-up research, writing emails, making phone calls and WRITING. Tomorrow I will do the last piece - visiting Kibera and one of the refugee camps. A college guy from Alabama here doing a piece on displacement - maily focusing on Sudan - visited Kibera during the initial violence and now is willing to accompany me to check things out. I'm looking forward to adding the missing spark to my article. And getting some good pictures. Please pray for me though as Kibera is still unstable and a little bit risky.
Anyways today is a nice break to my job and constantly sitting on my bed working on my computer.
Here are a few pictures from Java House.
