Wageni Wakaribishwa

There is a cute song here that is sometimes sung by children (and heard at tourist locations). It goes like this:

Jambo, jambo bwana (Hello, sir)
Habari gani – Nzuri sana (How are you – I am very fine)
Wageni wakaribishwa (Visitors are welcome)
Kenya yetu – hakuna matata (to our Kenya – no problem!)

So, we would like to echo – wageni wakaribishwa! Visitors are welcome!

If you have any interest in visiting Kenya (and us!) we would love to have visitors. It’s definitely a big trip, but if you are interested in either being a tourist or a volunteer, there are opportunities for you.

Specifically, our organization, Project Kenya, is planning a short-term mission trip to Ribe in early March. The volunteers will be working on some of the projects you may have heard us right about – the new school building, the library, and a resource center. The cost of the trip is $500 plus airfare (airfare for March looks like about $1200). This trip is pretty basic (homestays, etc.) to keep costs down, but if you are interested in seeing more of Kenya they (or we) can arrange safaris and other trips. See the Project Kenya website for more information, and feel free to ask us any questions! We would LOVE to see any and all of you who have an interest in this area.
