Today we went to KamWorks, which is a company that partners with an NGO, the NGO started an orphanage and the company sets up solar panels in homes and schools and orphanages, but it is a company. It was really cool because they involve the entire design process using student interns, that usually come from a university in the netherlands. they also employ and train the orphanage kids to build the products so that they have skills. It was good to see that all the stuff we learn in class has application. 

We also went to the russian market and I got some neat souveniers. And guess what I got to see my friend Julie, that I went to high school with. She lives here, so she came and met us at the market. she seemed really happy and excited about her work, she gets to travel a lot.

Well, thats about it for the day. We are started to get hungry for burgers and fries. we mostly have rice and curry. or noodles. which is good, but theres not too much variety.
