There are always so many demands and so many rewards. Our friend Bibiana is a councillor for a ward (constituency) on the boundary of Kakamega. She spends a great deal of time and energy trying to organise the women (mainly widows) On Tuesday we were invite to meet a group of widows. They have learned how to make cow dung fuel and liquid soap and we will include them in other activities. I tried to upload a video of their exuberant greeting with no success, so here is a picture
The meeting was held in a nursery school classroom started by the community. Today we returned to give the class a few supplies from our stash. The children sang for us and recited a poem.
Bibiana has c0mmunciated with the deputy Prime Minister from this area. He is interested in the Virtues project so we spent this evening with prof Akello (MMUST) and Bibiana drafting a letter to him from Virtues asking for his help with funding and referral to key people in various ministries.
He has gone to China but will return next week when we hope to meet with him.
Also this evening we had a brief meeeting to begin a proposal for workshops on domestic and sexual violence. Never a dull moment!
