We are now starting the last month of our ministry here and looking forward to coming home for a while. We have been very busy & I have been doing
a lot of teaching, so am feeling the pressure in an extremely hot dry season.
Pray for us as we come up to the general election in a week. Tribal tensions are
high & the High Commission has emergency evac plans, and has invited us to a meeting in Kisumu tomorrow. We'll swing down there after interviewing bright kids in Mwiyenga (out first Read for the Top school) for bursaries for high school because otherwise they will sit at home. We'll also check the composting toilet. Never a dull moment! As you probably know, two
presidential candidates are facing trial at the ICC for crimes against humanity
from the last election & are busy weaving rumours of Western plots &
conspiracies. There is likely to be no clear winner under the new rules of the
Constitution, which will mean a run off (for which no funds are budgeted ) and
even more conflict.
