I returned in February 2006. I found it hard after I came back
to Holland to feel the same for the home. I lost someone, a
little girl who I loved very much. Even if we didnt see each
other alot and even if I could not always spend a lot of time
with her when I was in Kenya, I had a special bound with her.
She died almost one day in my arms, in July 2003 when we still
living in Thika. That was scaring, and we though we wil miss
her soon. But a miracle happened and she enjoyed life with us
for another 2 years and half. I was upset with some people
cause they "lied 'to me. They have stopped me from coming to
Kenya whereby I was to late to hold her in my arms. She died
in a hospital against my will. I was angry with that doctor
who told me some hours before she died that Savannah was very
much ok. If it is fair that I was upset? maybe not but these
were my feelings and I had to deal with it.
I
travelled to Subukia near Lake Nakuru to visit a home of some
friends. They have hosted about 55 children in a very big
house located in a beautil valley. The Great Rift Valley.
James and Lucy Njau are running Planet Safaris in Nairobi and
with the profit they support all these children. They also
have volunteers from other countries to assist them.
Unfortunatly I fell sick in that night we slept in the home. I
could not enjoy the visit as I was to sick to walk around. The
following day we returned to Nairobi where I stayed another
day in bed in guesthouse Govenant Ngong Road. It was a short
week full of activities and after another 2 days I returned
back to the Netherlands. I had dinner with the staf at that
time. Edward, my brother in law but ex caretaker, Humprey the
cook and Myriam. They are all released but you can read this
later..
I went
back again in Marche but it turned out in a big disappoinment.
I have learned in that short week that people like to use
people as long as it benefits them I learned that people like
to point the finger at others and forgetting they have their
own shortcomings and mistakes. I have been showed that before
you complain, realize what you really have... it is ofter so
much better then you think you will get. It has bothered me
for some time but with the love and understanding of my
husband, who truthfully is the gift from God to me... and my
friends I was encourage to move on. It is better to forgive
then to forget.You are shocked that people who first seem so
friendly turned to be so evil and call themselves
Christians... In this work, with the tourism I do and the
orphanage I found a lot of challenges on my way. But
strengthen by my faith in God, encouraged by friends and
people who are wise enough to judge in a honest manner I have
and will always get over every bad experience. ( the
whole story will be published in my book )
