The Basics

The only information provided to me:
My parents' names are Joshua and Monica. My father is a civil service engineer (had no idea what that meant) and my mother was a housewife. I had five siblings Clifford, Hillary, Remmy, Kendi, and Rose. Kendi and Rose are the only two living at home because Remmy goes to boarding secondary school. They live in the village Chugu.
That's it.
As the bus drives to the local Nakumatt (Kenyan Wal-Mart) in Meru town, I had no idea what the hell to expect.
