To conclude the photo safari, some images of campus.
This is my morning walk, which is delightful:
The front road into campus:
Welcome to Discipleship College in Eldoret, Kenya! This is the main building, which comprises a central building housing the modest library, offices, and a meeting room. The wing to the left, side-on in this view, is the nearest to our compound, and is made up of the two main classrooms and the director's office. The far wing has an extra classroom, a multi-purpose room, and the chapel.
You may notice two or three doorways across the way. The college has no hallways whatever. The climate here makes it possible to simply have every room open onto the central quadrangle, with strictly open-air communication between classrooms. And, of course, no air conditioning apart from open doors and windows.
One of our students and a local pastor who came to chapel.
These are our dormitories, the awning on the right being the kitchen.
The backside of campus, during laundry time.
Immediately behind campus is a modest farm, which largely consists of fundraising projects for the school. This little house is where our groundskeeper and his family live. The plants in the foreground are their well-tended shamba. Directly behind me as I take this shot is the college's small barn and handful of cattle. To the right is a little commercial fishpond, and in the distance is the campus tree farm.
I love tree farms. They remind me of storybook forests, like in "Where the Wild Things Are." This is the one owned by the college, growing just behind the futbol field.
Not exactly Thomas Kinkade's kind of country church. The little girl in front of the fence was thrilled to be photographed, and immediately began dancing.
