I think the main difference that I experience where I am, from reading others shared stories &#8211; is that I am quiet limited to move outside a particular area. Meaning, I cannot go by myself to go for a coffee in town, go for a walk, go to a beach &#8211; yeah you know, these things that most people do when they &#8221;travel&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This, however, I know is a field study and not a tourist trip, but still it is challenging. Why I cannot go by myself, I don&#8217;t want to write here, but you are welcome to contact me personally of you wish to know.<\/p>\n<p>This has ended up with a lot of alone time, reading, meditating. To help out in the household makes me feel better, as I am being productive.<\/p>\n<p>There has been two accidents (one in my personal life at home, and one here) in the amount of 4 days, which also has made things a bit hard. But with support from wonderful people here and close ones at home, I have managed to get through the obstacles that arose a tempting thought of changing my ticket home earlier.<\/p>\n<p>I have during the past weeks here been to the community school and see how they are working with the children, and it is so wonderful to see!<\/p>\n<p>Also, I&#8217;ve met friends and family members of those I&#8217;m staying with, whom have giving me some inside information of various things, such as the school system in Kenya. It has given me time to reflect and understand a bit more how things work here &#8211; and how hard it actually is for children and youths to go to school.<\/p>\n<p>Now I will be heading to the school to give out some lunch, and afterwards I will be having an interview.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6869\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6869\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/05\/20190503_131148-e1557307790788.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6869 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/05\/20190503_131148-e1557307790788-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/05\/20190503_131148-e1557307790788-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/05\/20190503_131148-e1557307790788-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/mfs\/files\/2019\/05\/20190503_131148-e1557307790788-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6869\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">After lunch in school<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi people, I&#8217;m in my third week now in Wagwe, Kenya, and the days\/weeks has been all from ups and downs.
