Kibera and AIDS team Update
Nick traveled to Kibera (the slums of nearly 1 million inhabitants) this week. He's visiting Margaret, doing some tests for a computer classes, and looking in purchasing clothing for the small business they'd like to begin to help with the Sex Worker Recovery Program (Renew).
The picture on the left is of Margaret in her school/home in Kibera. For those of you who are familiar with this partnership of Lahash, we are joined with Mama Margaret in the slums of Nairobi providing help for an AIDS orphan school there. The kids meet in six classrooms, have one meal each day, and learn some basic kindergarten lessons for free. The slums only has 3 official government schools available to the public. Mama Margaret wrote recently that they were 3 months behind in rent at the school. We were able to provide one month (about $120 for the 6 classrooms and home) but it would be wonderful to get a community of friends that could help with this need each month. Those that are interested can send an email to info@lahash.net

The team in Kenya have a had a busy month. Dr. Oronje went to Kericho for some training at an AIC (Africa Inland Church) seminar. The event was organized by AIC Iten, and was meant to integrate the spiritual healing that is needed when working on health issues in a community.

So the participants went through several days of training and received some certificates for the program. Oronje is back in Eldoret now working in the clinic.
