A visit from my brother!


My brother Luqman is in Kenya!  He is currently studying to be a doctor at Stanford University and is here doing research.  We are VERY proud of him!! I can’t begin to express how awesome it is to be with family.  He’ll be here just long enough to meet his new niece in August! 
At first Anna was shy but it didn’t take her long to warm up to her uncle.  In Kenyan culture Luqman is supposed to give Anna, his niece, a calf or goat.  In honor of that Luqman gave Anna the money to buy a milk goat which we plan to do once back from Nairobi.  Anna happily received the gift


Anna accepting the money for the goat =)

 
Traditionally there must be song as the gift is given.  Here we are singing a traditional Luhya song for such an occasion. 
 
 
 

It was fun to show my brother our project and walk around the town we both grew up in.
