Hi,
even tonight, I just wanted to post you on what is happening here in our part of East Africa. We could never believe that our beloved people would start such a hatred which is being seen these past few days. The point really is, that the trouble hasn't started just now, but over the past decades there were tribal clashes which costed peoples lives, but issues were never really addressed. It looks as if people were just waiting for a chance to revenge and vent their anger out. I am still pleased that their are people of God who truly look for repentance and reconciliation and true and lasting peace. And I honestly believe that God listens to the multitude of saints who cry out to their God and besiege the throne of God for deliverance from the ugly beast of tribalism and hatred so that people can live together in peace again.
Just last night a letter was circulating in our station where again hatred was incited and the truth is that people are extremely scared. Extra policemen are patroulling around our station just to secure the area and take care of the minority tribes who live around here.
Today it was Benjamins birthday and he had a wonderful day with friends visiting from Nakuru and a sleepover and so many other things. He turned 11 today.
More news will follow, Thomas

Hi Benjamin,
My warm congratulations for your birthday. Or should I say 'gratuliert', but that's already almost the end of my German knowledge.
Herzliche grüße,
Daniëlle Fontijn
