Hallo,
Das ganze Land Kenya haelt den Atem an denn am Montag oeffnen die Wahllokale ihre Pforten um den vierten Praesidenten der Republik Kenya zu waehlen. Der Wahlkampf ging sehr heiss zu mit einigen Neuerungen, wie z.B. mehrere Fernsehdebatten mit allen 8 Kandidaten. Zum ersten mal hatten Kenianer die Moeglichkeit ihre Favoriten in einer geordneten Debatte zu beobachten und zu sehen wie sie auf z.T. sehr sensitive Vorwuerfe reagieren. Korruption wurde angesprochen, die grossen Skandale die ueber Jahre hier die Schlagzeilen gemacht haben. Ungleicher Landbesitz wurde offen angesprochen und der Favorit einer Gruppe musste sich den Fragen stellen und Stellung zu seine unglaublich grossen Laendereien nehmen.
Wir hoffen und beten dass alles friedlich verlaeuft und wir am Dienstag oder Mittwoch wissen wie der neue Praesident heisst und wie dann das Land seine politische Richtung nehmen wird.
Fast alles kommt zu einem Stillstand zum Vorabend der Wahlen hin, selbst die Geschaefte haben nicht mehr so viel in den Laeden weil man nur schwer einordnen kann wie alles ausgehen wird auch wenn jeder versucht optimistisch zu sein.
Wir hoffen sehr dass Kenianer genug aus den Erfahrungen der letzten Wellle der Gewalt gelernt haben, das war zum Jahreswechsel 2007 und 2008 wo mehr als 1200 Menschen ums Leben kamen und viele tausende vertrieben wurden. Die Verletzungen sind natuerlich noch da und viel Bitterkeit ist immer noch in den Herzen. Viele beten fuer die Wahlen um Frieden, Fairness und Freiheit fuer die die zu den Urnen gehen.
Im Krankenhaus geht alles seinen gewohnten Gang ausser dass manche vor den Wahlen lieber zuhause sein moechten und selbst hier etwas weniger los ist.
Bis demnaechst, ich werden dann berichten wie es ausgegangen ist, Thomas

Banquet 2013
Hello,
Please look at the pictures below, the german version. Just a few glimpses from the Senior Banquet 2013 where the junior class, that is Benjamins class prepares a very special Banquet for the graduating class which is Hanna-Joys class. Since September last year the junior class was busy preparing this special evening and the day finally came last Friday and it was a blast for both of the classes. The theme, which was kept a secret from the seniors, was the famous Titanic. The school hall was transformed into the dining hall of the ship which sank in 2012 after colliding with an iceberg.
The class also performed a drama with Jack and Rose's lovestory. On the weekend before the actual banquet the class tried to get as many parents from all over East Africa to help in building this magnificent ship. Many came and within a week there was the inside of the ship and on that evening it looked like the first class dining hall of the Titanic. All the kids were dressed up and looking amazing.
After all was done everyone was pretty tired and exhausted but really happy because it was a awesome display of teamwork and creativity. And really most of the work was done by the students. There was help from the parents and it was necessary. But the thoughts and ideas and most of the hard work was put in by the class of 2014 and then they will be blessed with a similar treat when they are about to graduate.
