Flashback - 5/2/10 - "CSI: Kenya"
I just found out that last night five hens were stolen from the orphanage. Geoffrey was quick to respond. He filed a police report and then went with them to talk to the suspect. Apparently, there was a shoe mark in the mud that lead from the suspects house to the hen house. Unfortunately, it wasn't a match, so the investigation continues.
Geoffrey immediately put into action some extra security. He purchased a dog, hired an additional security guard, and installed a light by the hen house. It is hard to understand how important chickens are to the villagers. They are a main source of food for the orphanage, and buying five new ones is expensive, relatively speaking.
James will be responsible of taking care of the dog, so he gets to name her. He named her Jimmy. I showed James a picture of my dog (seen here) and told him how much I miss her. I wish you could have seen how big his eyes got when I told him I take her for runs, to play with other dogs at the park and sometimes she goes with me to coffee shops. You would have thought I told him I had been abducted by aliens. He truly didn't believe me. In Kenya dogs are purely for security. They are very intentional to not socialize with the dogs because they want them to be aggressive. I decided it probably best not to tell him we spend silly amounts of money on taking our dogs to day care.
GOD CREATED US TO SERVE. ARE YOU?
