I spent 3 weeks with Svein and Wanchegi. It was a great experience. I did a lot of work that was helpful to learn. They have a beautiful home next to a lake, a beach, and hiking trails. They are great people and very accomodating.

This experience was coupled of some activities that were firsts for the girls, and they embraced every challenge with enthusiasm. From building a terrace to digging the ground for its foundation, each task was new to them.
