According to me, here are some facts of life in Nyanza
1. 3 months without rain means unpaved roads become very dusty.
2. A bucket and/or solar shower will not make one feel as clean as a hot shower in a nice hotel.
3. Children love wheels. If they do not have matchbox cars, they will invent their own with an old bike tire and a stick.
4. If one buys running shoes a half size too small, running in the heat is even less enjoyable.
5. Teaching proper grammar to students is challenging when ones own grasp of the rules is shaky at best. (“Why? Uhh, because that way is right, I think”)
6. Using pretty colored, good quality pens from the US is actually pretty exciting.
7. The sight of a two-year-old girl in a dirty nightgown with a shaved head and a big smile holding out her arms for a hug is one of the most uplifting sights ever.
