The True Meaning of Njuguna

Jannik alias Njuguna is our fellow volunteer and housemate, 22 years old, from Trier and has had his first zucchini, eggplant and papaya experience yesterday... we are slowly and surely introducing him to the enhancing world of vegetables and fruits. His Kenyan name Njuguna stands for cleverness, but "you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence and much aloneness because of misunderstandings". The others, who gave him the name, apparently did not know the meaning – now we know why. He has already been in Kenya for about 7 weeks now, but we are not sure if he will ever return due to all the marriage proposals he has received so far. We are currently considering to organize an auction selling a date to the highest bidder to boost our finances. We would advertise him as the following:

Dear Single Ladies,

Besides being a terrible cook (you have to take over here), probably having the same girly taste in music as you do (it’s fun though) and possessing quite some rusty hips and awkward dance moves (no progress in sight), he is one of the most kind and caring guys you might ever meet, loved by everyone who gets to know him. His favorite Kenyan dish is called Uji, a fermented porridge tasting like apple mousse – sounds weird, but truly is delicious. In addition, he is also a great handyman. If you might have forgotten your travel adapter – a plastic pen will do the job. If we haven’t convinced you yet, check out his travel videos on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnR_zXQiEp3zxWOcQXVIUXpueREMBBF9c) and his beard will leave all prevailing doubts behind.
