Friday 9th AugustIt was another very full day today. We started with breakfast at a civilised 8.00a.m. and had an hour or so to laze around before setting out to visit Olooltoto church and the Masai village. The church is part of Pastor Tom’s People for Jesus church and is built out of corrugated iron; we thought it would be very hot but in fact it is so cleverly designed that it was quite cool. From there we walked across the Mara  to visit the Masai Homestead of one of the parishioners. We were guided there by some of the church members in the most colourful and attractive costumes, hung around with bead necklaces and bangles. The kraal was surrounded by a brushwood and thorn fence and inside were two houses and we were invited to visit and see inside. The houses are built of wattle and daub with a fire in the middle and bed recesses around the outside and I think must be rather similar to the crannogs that we lived in long ago. It was surprisingly cosy although very dark because for security there is only on small window.From there we went back to the church where we met some of the people that Mission International has been helping, including a Masai girl who was rescued from forced marriage at 13 and is now in her second year training as a nurse. Hugh was presented with a special Masai shirt as a thank you along with some Masai jewellery for his wife and then (rather to our embarrassment as we have not done anything for the community) the team were all presented with Masai blankets which made us a very colourful sight. With luck you will see photos of us on the Mission Matters facebook page. The local women also had a selection of the jewellery they make available for sale, and it was good to think that the money we were paying would go direct to the maker.After that it was back to Africa Hope for (a rather late) lunch and then load the bus and set off back to Nairobi. This journey was quite straightforward this time with some spectacular views of the Rift valley along the way.This will probably be our last blog post as Hugh is scheduled to fly off to Malawi tomorrow morning, but we will look out for an internet cafe or we may be able to post from the airport on Sunday morning.You will have seen the news of the fire at JKI Airport. As of today, Turkish Airlines are telling us that our flight will go ahead as planned. We are monitoring the situation and let you know somehow if this changes.Miss Scott
