Soar Kenya

Hello Don and Mary

Sorry I didn’t write sooner.We are glad you reached home safe.Thanks a lot for the effective,efficient and quality work you did for the two weeks you spent with us.It looks like a 2 months’ work by Kenyan standards! Landscaping the front of the library,the junior school,building sheds and play stuff for the kids,working on the farm fence and motivating and inspiring our students through your practical hands-on-work approach. We are most grateful and wish you could stay longer.

Telkom who were to deliver the fencing posts confirmed this morning they will bring over the posts this Saturday.Assoon as they bring them,work on the fence will start and should last abot 2 days.You noticed that life is alittle bit slow in Kenya……

We are getting a fund to start on the rabbit cages today.Darleen sent me $200 this morning to start on this.We have also hired 2 boys who are already feeding the rabbits thrice a day, supplying them with water and cleaning the hutches daily including weekends.Samson and his brother Harry live in desperately poor conditions at home and ride boda boda(bicycle taxis) through the night to support themselves at home.Hopewell doesnt charge them fees.So this job is some great thing for them and they are doing it passionately.

Alison and Brittney are starting a complete First Aid course for all students and staff today.They will start with a class of 40(25 students and 15 staff who include teachers,kitchen staff ad Monica).Alison tore up one of her pants yesterday to make bandages she will be using to teach.Mason is teaching Biology and Chemistry in froms 1 and 2.

More later.Pass our warmest regards to your family and our special friends-Ruth,Maryanne,Aileen,Lyn and all those kind supporters.

Next time you visit,stay for a month please.
