Soar Kenya

Mary,

Hi, hope you are fine. Things are so bad here for all of us. I am so stressed I cannot understand. I suffered a lot in 1998 when my house was burnt to the ground. I was replacing one thing at a time, but now I don’t know where to run to or who to help me. On 31^st December when it started I was able to move my elderly mother (96yrs old) my two daughters and my son’s children to a house in town. My husband, myself, my son and my nephew we have been sleeping outside around our home together with the rest of the people in our area. We don’t know when they (Kalenjins) can strike. They have already burnt houses belonging to Kikuyus and Kisii community.

We opened Schools on 14^th January but only 370 pupils reported back, we are only four teachers who reported back. We lost one of our parents; most pupils are starving to death because their parents’ stalls/shops were burnt. Many pupils are reporting to our Schools from else where. The Schools in our town are in chaos, they are overflowing with pupils. Please Mary we are not able to feed these poor pupils. Some boys have gone to the streets to sell paper bags in order to get food for themselves and their siblings’ but the community is very hostile.

Pray for us and help us.
