Nick's Story
Nick Kipkorir is the director of the Silas Christian Foundation and is the primary contact for Lahash in the city of Eldoret. He is also my friend from childhood. He and the team in the slums of Silas and Munyaka in Eldoret have been aggressively tackling the complex AIDS situation there.

While we were in Tanzania on this last trip, Nick pulled out one of my journals and starting sketching and writing about his life. We are working on letting you understand more of the lives of each of our partners at Lahash, so I've uploaded what Nick worked on that evening.

For those of you interested in helping with the sponsorship of kids in Dodoma Tanzania, Nick's story provides a startling insider's look at what the lack of education and care can do to a family and a community in East Africa. And his sketches are fascinating as well. You can read the whole story at Lahash: Nick's Story
