Village Update 2/1/2010

VIA BUD POTTER:


I spoke with Pastor Kiefa Ontiri of Rionchogu village this morning, they are planning our visit, it will be a very busy time for us.  We will be there Easter weekend and there is considerable focus on their spiritual understandings.  On Friday they have a traditional  Easter church service and this should be a new experience for some of you.  They also meet for worship on Sunday and Monday but as we will travel on Monday we will miss that worship.  If we are successful in our attempt to fund a library then on Saturday we will be helping to build that library.
We will be meeting the students who have arrived home for the break and the women and girls will be gathering for a conversation on the advantages of education for women. Also on our agenda is a visit to a Masai village where two orphaned children are currently being  sponsored in school by GAD Kenya, this will be new for all of us.  We will experience the difference between the Masai village and the Kisii village.
There is a plan too for you to visit a family shamba (home) and we will visit families who have just received the newest calves from the cow project.  This project is working very well and the villagers are seeing how working together is such a benefit. We will also have the opportunity to sit and talk with many of the students who are currently being sponsored in secondary school.
Finally we are trying to fit a Tuesday tourist day in Nairobi.  Your trip will be filled for sure
