I automatically click with my family. My sister Kendi and her friend Sonni pick me up from Nakumatt with my parents. I was surprised to find my family owned a car. My sister told me I look like Paloma from the Spanish soap opera she watched. Yeah she is nine.
We drove about twenty minutes outside of Meru town to get to Chugu. When I arrived I could not believe how big the house was. I thought this was supposed to be crazy rural. I had my own room, my family had a huge shamba, and many people to work on the land. However, my family has worked hard to get to this place in their life. My mother was sick for six years with a hip problem.
They spoke unbelievable English so it was extremely easy to communicate. The first day was basically show the mzungu (white person) off to the rest of the community and make me soooo full I am screaming, "NIMESHIBA! (I AM FULL!)"
