Edwin Goes to Nairobi (Update 2)

Sorry for not updating sooner about Edwin.  Since I last wrote about Edwin we have been doing a lot of travels back and forth to Nairobi.

Finding our way to the clinic.

Edwin is back in Nairobi again today after just having been there 1 1/2 days ago. Things are moving fast and it is difficult because we have a long journey to and from Nairobi to get treatment.  Today, the check up will concentrate on the chromosomes, and again, in 3 days we will need another journey to Nairobi to get the results.

Waiting to see the doctor.

That is the picture from here at the moment. Continue praying as we need to be able to cover the cost of the treatments and travel back and forth to Nairobi for outpatient treatment and medicines. We are now waiting on the Lord to move on hearts.

This is the pharmacy where we bought the medicine in Nairobi.

If you can help Edwin directly with your finances, please send your gift to us via Pay Pal (see link top right of this site).

 We need to raise at least another $100 Canadian by Saturday, March 10, 2012 for Edwin's next trip to Nairobi where he is being treated as an outpatient.

We hope to hear from you soon.

Visiting the Samburu People

Hello,

I had a short visit to the Samburu people in the Maralal region of Kenya.

Near Marsabit, Kenya. Can you see the zebras under the shade of the trees?

Another photo near Marsabit, Kenya.  This time people are sitting on the grass.

At Maralal Safari Lodge, Kenya.

Having a drink of mursik (curdled milk made in a calabash).with lunch.

Our goal was to see the need for development in an area where less than 2% of the population receives an education.  This is a place where even the Mayor of the town we visited is starting grade one!

This region is really lacking in development though I found countless NGOs in the county.

The bulletin board at the lodge is full of information for the traveller.

My assessment of the county is that it needs prayers,  schools and water.

 

One good thing I did see is that someone started a greenhouse in the region. That was a happy moment for me when I saw the greenhouse.

The greenhouse.

In pastoral communities you see goats everywhere. These ones are grazing by the water tanks  which are located near the greenhouse.

It's great to see tomatos growing here!

Here I am with with my Samburu guide.

Enjoy the pics and please pray for these dear people.
