As most of you know, we participated in a Mission trip to Kenya during July. We visited, and worked, with 4 different arrangements to help children without parents (orphans). We worshipped in two rural churches on the outskirts of Nyeri, which is at the base of Mt. Kenya. We spent two nights in local homes. Of the 16 day trip, we spent the last two nights in the Masai Mara in a game preserve. It was a nice way to catch our breath before the long trip home. Below are some of the pictures we took. Enjoy and be blessed.
Tom and Jan
Kikuyu is a large area near Nairobi with churches, hospitals and schools mostly operated by the Presbyterians.
We spent most of our time here at a home called Tumaini.
Chuka is a town about a 3 hour drive from Nyeri. The mission is called Kenya Connection and operates both a small home and an outreach to about 130 children.
We visited two places that support battered/neglected women. One was a spinning and weaving group north of Nyeri, and the other was beads and pottery in Nairobi.
Mostly taken from the van, these pictures show areas along the road. Lots of traffic. A couple of pictures show very nice shopping malls.
OK. So the safari was a lot of fun. Nice accommodations (tents!), and lots, and lots of animals.
