This week we take you inside the local open air market, where thousands of items are sold by hundreds of vendors every day. It’s insanely busy and there are strange and interesting things at every turn.

It’s July in East Africa and that means winter weather. By winter we mean dry, upper 70’s, generally beautiful weather. In this video we talk about the cool season and compare the weather here with the weather in the states.

In town at our house we show how we get water, how we filter it, and what happens when we flush our toilet.

As part of our Africa orientation with PBT, we spent two weeks in an East African village, living with a local family, eating local food, and learning about the local culture. This video shows what life was like for us there.

There is a troop of monkeys that likes to hang out at the PBT office, providing great entertainment/distraction for us. Here are a few clips that I recorded of them this week. This isn’t at a zoo or wildlife reserve, this is in our backyard!
