Harusi Kusumu – August 2nd, 2008

Over the last few days we travelled several hundred miles through Kenya via Public Transportation, aka bus (not Greyhound)!! However, we have been blessed with enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of Kenya which we Wazungu (all of us who do not have brown skin) have never experienced before. Along the highways we have witnessed some magnificent wild beasts including; Giraffes, Zebras, Monkeys, Elephants, Boar, Camels, Antelopes, Rhinos, Hippos, Masai leading their cattle, herds of Goats and Sheep, and exotic birds.We were privileged to be invited to Saneta's brother's wedding (Harusi in Swahili). Amidst about 300 celebrants we witnessed the Christian matrimony of Clement and Dorcas Maiko. It was a beautiful affair with the bride dressed in white. Somewhere during the ceremony, not sure when, we were adopted by a 3-year old orphan boy that latched onto us. We could never find out his name but he was starved for affection and food in equal measure. By the grace of God we were able to provide a little of both.

Bwana asifiwe (Praise the Lord)
