Summer reading

I just finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. It's a good book and you should read it when you have time. Maybe this summer? :)

My dear friend

Chathura Maduranga Hettiarachchi, my dear friend was a partisipant on the GoCY-program 2010-2011 together with me.we were bought in Kenya. He was in Mombasa and I was in Kisumu. Last chrismas and new year we celebrated together in Lamu and Mombasa. The exchange ended three weeks ago, and Chathura went back to Sri Lanka and I came home to Norway.

Some days ago Chathura fell sick and last night he died. Im numb. I dont know what to say, but I miss you Chathura! You are on my mind and I remember all the good times we had together. Ill always, always remember your smile and the way you answerwd " Poa Sana" (verry good), when someone asked you, "How are you?" I hope your poa sana right now, where ever you are. May God bless you!

I send my condolences to all your family and friends. Kristoffer is now on his way to Sri Lanka. He will represent the GoCYs in your funural.

Tuanane badai Chathura.

Back in Norway

This morning I arrived in Norway. It's so strange. Now I'm at Årholdttunet in Tønsberg with Maria, Mari, Kristoffer, Ridma, Jackie and David, all from the GoCY-program.

Happy Easter

It is not much that reminds me of the norwegian easter with snow and small yellow chickens. But at least I have the sun ;)

In one week i'll be on my way back to Norway. Kristoffer and two friends are now on their way to Kilimanjaro. I wish them a wonderful trip!

2 weeks

Now it's only two weeks until I'm back in Norway. I would like to stay longer. There are so many things to do, and today I got some bad news. I have pneumonia. I'v started treatment, and hope to get well as soon as possible. The time is so short!!!

Goodbye Joy

Yesterday Joy left Kenya. Her visa was expiering. She is now on her way home to Sudan. Maybe some day I’ll see her again? I’ll miss her in Kisumu, now I’m all alone. The pictures are from the last project we visited together. We gave out sanitary towels to a youth group in Otongolo.

Blankets & wine

Today I was in Mamba village in Nairobi. I attended an arrangement called Blankets & wine. I was there withe Kristoffer, Håvard, Kristin from Norway, and some other german and kenyan friends. Blankets & wine is a kind of concert with around four different artists. It’s happening every first sunday of a month, and I recommend others to give it a try.
