Salome and her kitty

Pickles the cat has been living at the volunteer house since her owners returned to America for a year last August; our friends David and Nicole, Baptist missionaries also new to town, asked us to babysit her until they returned from home leave this coming August. When it's just me here in town, I don't spend enough time at the volunteer house to be very good company, so yesterday I made the kids day by bringing Pickles out to live at Gamasara with us. She's still adjusting to life with 50 children, as you might imagine, but slept with Salome last night who is VERY excited to have the honor of taking care of her and letting her sleep in her room. Who knows, on one of these trips to pick up volunteers in Nairobi, I might just have to come back with a dog, too.
