Mark's Safari
From Mark about his safari trip:
The safari was a little trip that I took to an orphanage about 1 hour from Lake Victoria. There are 50 kids there from 5-18. A woman from Peter's church donated $400.00, which I took out there to buy food. They almost never get meat, so I bought 50 lbs. of beef for dinner while I was there in addition to the maize, rice, and beans. It will last them about a month. I wanted to take some pictures for an article I am writing for the Hunterdon County Democrat. I hope it will raise some money for them. I came back via Kisumu, the third largest city in Kenya. It is on the edge of Lake Victoria and I had a good time eating stewed fish that was freshly caught. It's one of my favorite towns. I was on the back of a motorcycle, no helment of course, and a car hit the motorcycle. The two of us went bouncing off into the bush in the dark. No injuries, but it did make my heart pump. I flew both ways which takes about 45 minutes each way from Nairobi.
