Team goes home

The team left a few
days ago except for Darla, Marjaana and I. There were some
organisations here that our friends in Buena Park wanted us to visit.
Steven and Rosemary Mbogo have a home for orphans in Ngong and we had
the opportunity to see their program. We also visited David and
Esther's school outside of the city of Nakuru, about halfway between
Naiobi and Kitale. What a blessing both these programs are to the
children of these areas. Alice, the president of OWI Africa met us at
the latter school and was able to stay with us for two nights. The
first night we met with our friends Greg and Deb Snell in Navasha.
They have been building a home for guests coming to Kenya for the last
few years and it is 99% finished. We were invited to dinner and then
stayed over at a friends cottage. She took us on a tour of the city
the next day and we talked all about her hopes and plans for the
future. Thanks Deb and Greg for your hospitality! After Darla left on
Sunday, Marjaana and I stayed on to wait for another team of three to
arrive . This team is under Marjaana's private tour company; The
Traveling Twiga. We will be returning to Kitale with the three for an
introduction of what OWI does in Kiminini. After four days there, they
will head out for a three day safari resort stay in the Masai Mara.
This is where my trip ends and I fly home. I've enjoyed my time in
Kenya but miss my family and friends very much. In the meantime we are
currently in Mombasa on the east coast of Kenya with our friends from
the US. Mumbi, her mom, Jeri and Lavin, her 9 year old son. We
traveled by overnight bus on Sunday to Mumbasa to see the sights and
get some much needed rest. The weather is warm and breezy with a bit
of humidity. The team left a few days ago except for Darla, Marjaana
