Daily life Q and A:

This is me and my tennis coach playing together
at JD Tennis Academy.

Interviewer: What is the hardest part about living in your home on Ndemi Lane?

Wilson Family: Honestly, the hardest thing is that this place is not very well kept.  Most of the shower doors don’t slide very well at all, the sinks leak, and none of the bathroom windows close all the way.  Also, there aren’t any extra cups, bowls, or towels, so you have to make sure that you wash the dishes right after every meal so that you are ready for the next one.

Interviewer: What do you do for fun around your home?

This is the waterfall in Karura forest

Wilson Family: Twice a week, we go to tennis classes at a place half a block down the street.  However, we have to make sure that we don’t miss balls because we’re watching the monkeys playing on the roof!

Interviewer: Is there anything that you look forward to each week?

Wilson Family: Almost every week, we go on a field trip to somewhere we’ve never been before.  For example, this week we went to the Karura Forest, which is home to the Mau Mau caves, named after the freedom fighters, as they call them, who fought for independence from Great Britain.  Kenya received its independence in 1963.

Interviewer: Thank you for sharing with us your experience at your home!  We look forward to hearing from you again soon.
