Medical Supplies Delivered

Today was a big day, medical supplies were distributed to 10 different dispensaries in Kenya and to two hospitals.

I had goat and toast for lunch. Not bad, but I hope I will not be forced to eat it every day . . . . I will be visiting the girls home in Limburu this weekend. 82 orphans live there. A friend of mine is stopping by tomorrow. Her name is Megan and has an interesting story of her journey to help the people of Kenya. Her blog is http://www.megangoestokenya.blogspot.com/

The Tana River flows only in Kenya, means the West Kili side has no river, we need to collect runoff (rain). Runoff collection is quintessential in providing water for the people.

I asked Nahashon to setup a bank account so people could send support for these orphans. They could use some financial support. It would be great if people could help support Engineers Without Borders as well- web page: http://www.ewb-oc.org/. You will find the description about our EWB project in Endana/Kenya there.

OK, that’s it for now.

First Blog from East Africa

This is Dr. Michael Gonsior's blog from East Africa. Michael will be sending me images and stories as he helps the organization called East Africa Partnership engineer "Self-Sufficiency through Farming." Check out http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kenyapartnership.org%2Ffarming.html&h=01db9c1fa68205d3b524f5cc22a97104

He will be reporting from Kenya: Southern slope of Mt Kenya, 20,000 acres along the Tana River and Tanzania: Western side of Mt Kilimanjaro. Massai land. 40-60,000 acres. Presumably, at the Tana River.

Eleven million people are suffering from drought,poverty and desparately need education. The East Africa Partnership is there to help them be self-sufficient through farming. The Kenyan and Tanzanian governments have agreed to grant the East Africa Partnership between 100,000 and 300,000 acres of land free of cost and a reduction in taxes until the venture is profitable. Empowering the people of this region. Looking forward to hearing from Michael as he shares with us from the field.
