Fire Burns Again in Kericho

Another fire engulfed our village again.
The smoke could be seen more than five miles away as you can see in the pictures.

The smoke was so dark, The tanker had lost control and finally fell over.

Thank God for the brave young men who rescued the driver of the tanker and his boy, and rushed them to the hospital.

Those who were injured in the small saloon car were rushed quickly to the hospital and they are reportedly doing better.

It took less than two minutes before the tank burned and we thank God for the quick action of the villagers who saved their friends before the police and doctors arrived.

Continue to pray for the villages as this is the second tanker in the area that has lost control and there are also many others throughout the country losing control.

We are very glad no one was injured, though a lot of tea bushes were burned.

God bless,

Reflection & Planning

This week has been quite busy for me and my colleagues. We were all able to attend a small bonding and goal oriented meeting. We were to sit together and evaluate what we did together in the past year and what we are to do in this year 2009.

Every year we re-evaluate and recheck our goals and programs to see that we can achieve them. Some of the goals that we had last year were not achieved mostly because the plans that we had were ran over by the (high) inflation rates that we had in my country.

One thing that I learned is that everyone is a leader in whatever point of life or place we are in. That is the greatest of lessons that I learned throughout this period.
We did also learn some fire drills and it was fun though a bit scary too.

But I guess this was helpful as we have experienced a lot of fire disasters lately.

It is my prayer that most of the goals that we have set for this year can be achieved with God's help. Please continue praying for us.
