Hectic
I can't believe it's been 4 days since I last posted, so sorry for that. I guess time has gotten away from me since we returned and it's been flying by. However, it's late so I will get on the computer tomorrow (God willing) to get you an update on what's been...
Back at C4KK
Yes folks we made it back to C4KK safe and sound. We had to go through 7 police checks on the way home and each time I saw the sign my stomach did a little flip, but God granted us the pleasure of not being stopped for any of them! If that doesn't really make sense...
Another first
We had another first happen to us today in Kenya and I hope it never happens again. Intrigued? Let me tell you the story: This morning Chuck, Joseck and I got up at 4 am and packed the truck for our trip back to C4KK. We left Luanda at 5 am in the dark with only a...
Turning tables
Boy oh boy, what a day it was on Sunday. By the end of the day I was so mad I had a headache and went to bed somewhat early (10 pm). Now it's Monday evening and I'll attempt to catch you up. Before heading out for the day Albert, C4KK Outreach team member, came by...
Young David
Wow, another blessed day in the Lord! This morning Joseck got everything set up for the Luanda Food Distribution (thank you donor for making this a reality!) where women young and old came to receive their 10 kg of rice, 10 kg of beans and 2 liters of cooking oil. I...
Hapana!
With the recent meeting of Doctor's Edward and Rafael we've learned much from them on the treatment of jiggers. They treat hundreds of people with this problem and do not charge for the service (yeah God!) therefore they've found the most economical solution for...
Who knew?
It was another hot, busy and dusty day, but we thank God for the ability to wake up, breath and serve! Today the C4KK Outreach team began work on Okemi and Ruby's new toilet and shower area. We first had to pick up timber, tin sheets and nails for the construction...
Good with the bad
Today was another long day. It is so hot here and we are definitely dehydrated by the time we get back home (yes I carry water but it does get pretty warm and isn't very refreshing) but here I am to fill you in on the days events while Chuck and Joseck are delivering...
Beauty through the ugliness
Sometimes you have to search for the beauty, other times it's sitting in front of you and you just don't notice or it's buried beneath the pain and suffering. Today we visited Okemi and Ruby again (you can see the beginning of their story here) but I'm getting ahead...
Kukhu
Kukhu (ku-who) - Luhya language for "grandmother". We visited three kukhu's today. All have been assisted through C4KK Benevolence and Joseck wanted us to visit, see what had happened on the ground and to assist with another jigger treatment. The poverty which hit...
