returned from bringing relief food to Northwestern Kenya. Oh my, it is a forgotten place. There was so much hunger-our help seemed so small, but it was help and appreciated. Thanks to AGI (Alternative Gifts International) we were able to assist. More later with pics

YEAH! Today is the last day of exams for our Standard Eight students. This exam means a lot - Samwel, Maina and Mbogwa all completed their exams today and all three felt good about their performance. They are now free. At the end of December, we find out the results and see which High Schools will take the boys next year. YEAH!! congratulations to them and all the other Standard Eight examinees!
Heading to Isiolo this weekend for a meeting with the chief and other leaders to garner their support for the Kulea Girl's Rescue Home. Will be out of touch for a while. If you are interested in helping rescue girls from FGM and early marriage and encouraging the education of the girl child send an email to info@expandingopportunities.org for more information.
