Last night I met a young man maned Alfayo. He was a student from a University in Kisumu, who was teaching math at a local secondary school in Choimim. He spoke incredible good English, and had fabulous ideas concerning recycling and other environmental issues. I would consider Alfayo to be ore of the kind of person now coming out of the universities in Kenya. Extremely bright; and passionate about doing something positive for his country.

I had found an article by John Oyuke with the Kenyan Standard before our trip about the bags. Continue Reading »

This past week, we had a little bit of a scare. 5 of our team members had sent out passport apps, and hadn’t received any word or indication that they were close to being processed. One of the passports were our daughter Chelsea’s. Our church had a mission trip to New Orleans last week, and through a little calculated planning, 3 of the passports were picked up using a letter of permission. Praise God for working this out.
