Wedding Day

I wish I could be in 3 different places today! Unfortunately I was only able to be in one--but I was happy to celebrate with Kipukel and his new bride here in Kenya. Here are a few pictures from our day. Congratulations to Shane & Helen and Adam & Amanda who also are getting married today! I wish I could be there with you....
Sedala and Lula, the cute kids of my co-worker. 

The AfricaHope gang with the bride, groom and a few family members. The wedding was about a 30 minute drive from Narok. It was great to have so many of our staff attend this wedding to support our friend/co-worker.

These ladies are some of my dearest friends here. We had a fun day. Funny thing, though, is that I'm the only one of us who dressed in my "Maasai clothes" for the wedding... and I'm the only non-Maasai! Everyone said I looked "smart" though!


The entrance to the family "boma." Inside the outer fence are several houses of family members plus an inner fence for the cows.

I'm heading to the bush tomorrow with our NMSI intern team. We'll be staying in a boma like this one until Wednesday... it will be stretching and a great experience for all of us. More details to come about that stay in a few days!
