My First Month and it's Getting Hot

I have been in Kenya for one month and now it's getting hot!! Actually i am at present in Mombasa and its boiling. Over the past 4 weeks the work has unfolded and i have been given responsibility for several projects - registration of displaced children and running the team that will collate all the information. I will supervise them 2 days a week in Nairobi and then for the rest of the time i will review children's homes and set up a training package for heads of homes. This is a huge project and involves government officials, meetings and a lot travelling around the country. Yesterday i inspected homes in Malindi and today i'm doing Mombasa. Everyone's so desperate to be trained and really interested in taking the advice i'm offering so it is very rewarding work, but feels like a drop in the ocean. I am also training social workers, and it looks like i will be pulled into several more training events concerning child protection and advocacy, so i am coming back here next week to do that.
I was encouraged kicking and screaming into the Indian Ocean for a swim last night and was goalkeeper for the youth social workers, girls who are professional footballers, who played against the boys including Maasai beach craft sellers - I tackled a Masai warrior on the beach, surreal!!
I have now settled into my city life style and met some very nice, weird and very interesting people. I am meeting with a Maasai woman next week to talk to her about parenting and tribal customs - she is particularly interesting as she was recently awarded the 'Order of the Spear' (like an OBE) for her work rescuing girls from abuse. I have been to an art exhibition, a private view at Romoma Gallery in Nairobi which was great fun and i met a new bunch of people. Also i had my first weekend away with a Jewish American crowd of woman and neighbours who have decided i needed distracting occasionally. We all went to Niavasha to a beautiful farm and nature reserve - i think this is the most relaxing place i have been to so far. I went on a night game run and saw hippos and loads of other wildlife.
Some times i wake up and feel as if i'm in the wrong place and uncertain about what i'm doing here or of what benefit i am etc - other times i am totally enveloped in the work, in the flow, and running with stuff like i do when i'm home. I do have mixed feelings about the work i'm doing even though everyone here thinks its great. I'm sure its because i'm here short term and because this country really struggles with structures and implementation, and has done for years - its a huge problem for all sorts of reasons. Maybe i'll be able to work around it like every one else does, let see. My Swahili has improved and i've got a sun tan!! So far so good.
How are you all?
