Before to go on Mfangano island, the place where will take place my volunteering, i slept 2 nights at YMCA hostel in Nairobi. The 18th at night, Oneka, the manager of KVDA (volunteering association), picked me at the airport to join the hostel. The climat was so opressing!😥
The climat was so opressing! The 1st night was TERRIBLE. I was completely afraid, i felt alone and so sad to be so far of my country, my family, my security... Here, the accomodation was really simple: a small flow to take a shower, a little bed and a toilet . However, i was higly welcome! People here are so kind, so open ! You can't imagine ... i didn't expected that.
Then, the next morning, i had a meeting with Oneka and Tyson, a kenyan member involved in KVDA. It was so difficult to keep my eyes open but they both give me so many informations wich were very important to know when you arrived in Africa as European.
After the meeting, Tyson accompanied me to take of some money, buy a new SIM card and buy my bus ticket for the next day. He made me discover the town within there is so much disparities. It was very very emotional. He shew me guettos, where poverty are so hard but where he lives too. I feel so priviladged to meet him and to be cared by those Kenyans.
After this distressing day, i felt so tired . I ate a tasty dinner and went to bed.
