Any Wild Animals?

Our day began with the long drive from Nairobi to Nakuru, stopping about halfway to see the new orphanage being built by With My Own Two Hands Foundation. St. Ann Baby and Children’s Home kids that we are working with are being evicted from their current home, when Lindsey found out what was going on and that the director, Irene, owns a plot of land, she took action. The result has been about $32,000 raised so far and this:

Not going to lie, we all got a bit misty-eyed when we drove up. The building is spectacular and I can’t wait until these beautiful kids moving into their new permanent home!
On the drive over we asked Kimani who has been driving us and is an amazing man, “Hey, are we going to see any wild animals?”
Without any hesitation he replied, “No, no wild animals. Just giraffes, zebras, you know… whatever.”
I couldn’t help but bust out laughing and about 10 minutes later we saw these fellas on the side of the road:

That’s all I have time for now as we are off to breakfast.
With love from Kenya,
