Day Five - On the road again!

Not much to report today.  We drove from Nairobi to Sibanga because we are tired of being delayed by the only airline that flies into Kitale.  As many of you recall this occurred during our last visit to Kenya and it actually took us longer to FLY to Eldoret and drive to Sibanga than it would have taken us to drive!  The drive is a little hard on us because of the condition of the roads between Eldoret and Sibanga, but it "only" took us about 8 hours!  We arrived at the Zippy's farm about 4:30 and had some time relax before taking dinner with Zippy.

We were excited to see two new faces at Zippy's home this time.  Rhoda is a young orphan girl who came from Uganda and was taken in by Zippy.  It is thought she is about 8 but not very much is know about her.  When Zippy first took her in, Rhoda wasn't talking at all but now she is talking and enjoying a new start on life.  The other new face is Jela (pronounced "Chella") who is a young college graduate also raised by Zippy from an early age but who is now without a job.  She is staying with Zippy as a personal assistant of sorts while she looks for another job.
