Virtual Tour of AMCC

Hey guys! I wanted to give a picture (pun) of what AMCC looks like.


This is Kimata, the region we are staying in the Gatanga district.
AMCC is the place with the blue doors on the right.

The five blue doors mark the outside of AMCC


The Classroom is where all the kids study every day and also where we eat


The Store is for keeping firewood and food
This is the Office of AMCC

The Church is where we have church on Sundays and worship and pray every night

This is ..."just outside there". I call it a courtyard. The black tank is where we collect rainwater to drink, bathe, cook, and clean. The doors to the sides are the kids rooms and laundry is hung on the wires hanging from wall to wall. In the back you can see the "bafu" or bathing stalls.



The Kitchen is the first door on the left in the courtyard. This is where we cook the food over a fire and inhale unhealthy amounts of smoke.

This a picture of one of the bedrooms. There are nine beds. The ones on the left have a divider on each layer to make two beds. Their clothes are kept in a chest at the end of the bed.

And this is our room. John hangs his clothes on a line and in the back you can see the mosquito nets to help prevent malaria from mosquitoes. THE "CHOO"! This is where we poop in a hole! And the "Bafu". This is where we bath with a bowl!

Well that's AMCC. Now you've seen it! The only thing missing from these pictures is YOU! If you wanna come hang out in Kenya for a while and see what it's like to poop in a hole and bathe in a bowl, we could sure use the help. If you wanna visit, just send me an e-mail or post a comment.
I hope this has been helpful in giving you a better idea of where we're staying. AND I hope to see any of you guys here soon!
