3 weeks tomorrow

After only three weeks I have seen and done so much. The fast pace of Dr. Michael Hyodo in this developing country is quite remarkable. I have met hundreds of people already and trying to keep their names straight is a challenge in itself. I have been gaining a great deal of insight for life and ministry. That may be the most impacting part of the trip so far.
Here are just a few snapshots of where I've been.


At Redeemed Gospel Church headed by Bishop Arthur Kitonga
The kids always love to play and get a kick out of us visiting.
We are keeping some supplies here and have visited a few times already.

I was fortunate enough to get to go on Safari already, and we saw so many animals. We went to Maisi Mara and visited a village(next photo) and saw so many animals. This was one photo that stood out in particular.

Here a mother and child walk across the open center of their village. Their habitation is very primitive. The smell of dung is evident as they even use it in their construction.



This is a photo of the Mathare slum where we visited the Mcedo School. All of the students wear uniforms which helps greatly with their appearance. However it is obvious that the conditions are at subsistence living for most. This photo shows a more open area with a road. Most of the slums are more closely pacts with small alley ways and trickling waste water. The smell is similar to a garbage dump.
