Hello,
Just a brief update on what is going on in our lives. Everybody is taking a deep breath around Kenya because we had some good rainfalls here in our area and it seems in many parts of the country as well. It has never been that dry in the area where we live now and the food prices hiked extremely high. If it continues to rain there is hope for a harvest after some months, and life can come back to some kind of normality. With the economic problems the country is facing, there is also a growing sense of insecurity all over the place. We thank God for the way he has protected us up to today.
The other day here in Kijabe a fire has razed away about 11 houses and left the inhabitants homeless. They are being housed by friends and well wishers, a lot of good will has been shown to those affected and help came in immediately. The houses were wooden structures and therefore burned like hay. The new houses will be build out of corregated ironsheets, but at least everybody is going to have a shelter very soon.
One last thing I wanted to share is the upcoming trip to the country to our north, where a group of doctors from Kijabe are going to do operations, that is cleft-lip repairs only. They are estimating about a hundred repairs in this one week. I am looking forward to being part of that group and to be able to step my feet on the ground of the land I was wanting to visit for a long time. I'll tell you more on how it went as soon as I am back from that trip. Have a great week, Thomas
