We have just finished the second term here at RVA. A very busy and full term. Those two words, busy and full, seem to get used a lot when we get to the end of terms. It is hard to even qualify them into just how we feel The best way to describe it isContinue reading “20 Thoughts: Field hockey, buses, interim, and volleyball among just a few things.”

The Distant Boat
Just this past week we went to a movie premiere. No, we are not involved with the who’s who in the movie industry and it was not Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood but it was exciting nonetheless and we got to hang out with some friends. Africa Inland Mission’s On Field Media (OFM) branch wasContinue reading “The Distant Boat”
Many small cars and one BIG car
Just wanted to let you know that we are still here, hard at work. Hard to imagine where the last few months have gone. It really becomes a blur. Right now we are in the last few weeks of the school term. We have been involved in several big events as well as the teachingContinue reading “Many small cars and one BIG car”
Events in Nairobi
Thanks so much for praying for us. Even though we are not directly affected with anyone in the school being killed or injured we can say that we definitely have the secondary trauma of not knowing if this is going to happen again and where. Smaller more insignificant events had been happening over the pastContinue reading “Events in Nairobi”
Playing Volleyball – At a Maximum Security Prison
First of all we do not want to cause concern so we need to let you know right off that we are not in prison. However, this past Saturday the varsity volleyball team made our annual trip to the maximum security prison in Naivasha, a town close by. This is a very interesting trip asContinue reading “Playing Volleyball – At a Maximum Security Prison”

Just a couple of weeks more and we will be saying “goodbye” to one more school year and embarking on a new one with our own children in different grades. On reflection, this past year has been one that has been very full andContinue reading “June update – The Call to be More”
Mudslide!
We live in a country where less than 5% of forest remains from what originally covered much of the landscape. Subsistence living is what people survive on. Wood for fuel, whatever meager open (or conveniently cleared) piece of land they can put a few seeds in, and wood as a cash crop dominate the entireContinue reading “Mudslide!”
Elections, ICC trial, and volleyball try-outs
Well, it is the time of year that the elections for the new President of Kenya, the trial against the now newly elected president and deputy president of Kenya for crimes against humanity, and volleyball try-outs take place. Although these are each very different events they will have a very resounding impact our our livesContinue reading “Elections, ICC trial, and volleyball try-outs”
Banquet 2013 – Titanic
Well, we have tackled probably the single biggest event in the life of an RVA student. The junior class puts on a banquet for the seniors to show their appreciation and to honour the seniors for making it this far. It is not just any banquet though. There is a building that we use thatContinue reading “Banquet 2013 – Titanic”
Where is “HOME”
Home can be such a difficult thing to describe. Recently we have been talking with the senior class here about the transition they are coming to and many of the things they will go through. When we get to this question though it is difficult for some and it causes a lot of wrestling. IfContinue reading “Where is “HOME””
