Pamela

As if Pamela needs anything else to happen........

So two weeks ago our nanny Pamela’s sister-in-law died while in labor, her baby died too. The sister in law’s husband abandoned her and a 4 year old daughter a couple months earllier. So now Pamela has to go to Nairobi to bring the body to Kisumu for burial in there family home, and now, I guess, Pamela will be looking after the little girl too.

They have been waiting all this time to bring the body back because Pamela's fathers house which is made from mud, sticks and tin fell down during the rainy season in April, they haven’t been able to rebuild, and because of Luo culture no funeral until rebuilding. We financed the rebuilding so now they can bring her back. This place can be so exhausting and just plain sad.
