Last Update From Turkana

Hello friends,

This is my last update about the Turkana relief effort.
We had a great time in Turkana serving the people there with our love and gifts.



In total we distributed 90,000 kg of corn/maize and 20,000 kg of beans.
We are so much grateful to God for making this possible.



 

Today we visited AGC Lokichar Secondary School. This school gave us lots of hope because it is doing so well. It is the best performing school in Turkana, and yet it is also situated in a famine stricken area. This brought a lot of hope for us as we left the land of Turkana.





Keep praying for this school. 

Several of their students were "A" students last year and yet they don't even have a functioning lab or even some of the other amenities.

Many thanks and please enjoy the pics.

More Photos of the Turkana Relief Effort

Hello,


Thank you so much for following our updates from here in Turkana country in northern Kenya where we are bringing much needed food relief to the people.

The vehicle gets stuck in the fine sand.

There are many people gathered for the food distribution. There are lots of children in the group.

I am so glad that you are praying for us.
Tomorrow will be our last day to visit this place and distribute the food before returning home.



The women and girls adorn themselves with many necklaces.

I'm holding one of the stools that Turkana men carry. They use it to sit on or to put their head on when they go to sleep.





Tonight it is so hot here that I am contemplating whether to sleep inside or
outside the house where I am staying.

Some of our team members  who are mostly university students have opted to sleep in the open. Thank God there is a moon to show the way.

Otherwise enjoy the pics and continue to pray for our work and our journey.

This is the dirty water that the Turkana people have to drink. We have brought them some water but they really need good clean water. How wonderful it would be if they had a proper well.
