This past week we were making home visits and conducting two trainings for the Water with Blessings Program. We also spent two days in Kisii taking orphans to medical appointments. Work continues at the new house and hopefully it will be completed in the next few months. The photo is of one of the mamas who received a water filter and bucket at Kiamwarimu.
This past week was spent conducting Water with Blessings home visits and follow ups as well as time in medical facilities. This was also the first time where boiled mayai (eggs) were distributed on Mission Saturday. The generous donor who gave money to purchase kuku (chickens) wanted the children to have another source of protein in their diet. The kuku will have to ramp up their production in order to have approximately 150-175 mayai every week of Mission Saturday! The photo is of three brothers holding their yai (egg) they received on Mission Saturday at Manga.
This past week we kept busy with home visits for the Water with Blessings Program. We also got caught up on laundry from when we had visitors. Mission Saturday was held at Ichuni and here at Gekano. The photo is of a cute couple who have been married 51 years! We met them during one of the home visits. Their names are Sabina and Joseph.
For the past couple of weeks, our sons, Aaron and Nathan, have been here in Kenya. They made the long 8,318 mile trek from ND to Kenya to spend time with us. While here, we visited Tabaka which is famous for its soapstone, went to the Equator near Kisumu, golfed in Kisii, went on a safari to the Maasai Mara, etc. We also spent time around the Mission and the new shamba, conducted a Water with Blessings training, participated in Mission Saturdays, and visited a couple of families who were the recipients of a heifer through the Heifer Program. It was hard to say good-by to our sons but we are most grateful for the time we had together in this beautiful country.
