We are back in Nairobi, on our last leg of this journey in Kenya. We are very excited that we only have 6 more sleeps until our flight out!!! We have been blessed in amazing ways and are so grateful for all that we have experienced and learned.
Last time I wrote we were in Nanyuki. The next day we headed even furthur north to the DolDol district. Here we made some great friends and saw much of the country side. This area is primarily Masai. We visited a Masai Manyatta (house) and met many Masai people. We rode for hours on roads that are little more than trails through the brush in spots. This area is very dry and the Masai people live by grazing cattle.
Our main purpose in visiting this area was to hand out mosquito nets to the sponsered children (through World Vision) and to do the children’s annual progress reports. We had a lot of fun meeting the children and interacting with them, even though we could not understand one another. Once again it was amazing seeing World Vision’s partnership with the community. It is so exciting to see such a huge organization doing missions work well and effectively.
We were so blessed this past week by our hosts, the World Vision staff, in Nanyuki and on the field. They took such good care of us. They were also good friends and we had many occasions of fun and laughter. We are praying that the Lord will bless them as they continue their work in this region and that as they phase out of these two districts that all would go smoothly.
