Jambo from Kitale!

Jambo Rafikis! (Hello friends!) Greetings from the beautiful country of Kenya! There is so much to say and so little time to say it in. We are all doing well and so happy to be here with the Daughters.

We just completed week 1 of our camp! We’ve had many successes and some interesting challenges along the way, but overall I feel that it was a huge success. We said farewell to our first group this afternoon.

There are many thoughts I’m wrestling with at the moment – mostly about the best ways to affect systemic change for the harsh poverty surrounding us. Just having these children for a week, and then sending them on their way, is no small task. My heart has been broken by their struggles and been healed again by their smiles more times than I could count this week, and I know next week will bring the same. As time helps me unfold my thoughts, I will share them as I can.

For now, know that we are all well, and we appreciate your prayers as we plan for our next group of children!
