AIDS Training in Kenyan Churches
Dr. Oronje and Nick have been busy the past weekend spending time in churches in the Eldoret area. The photo above is Dr. Oronje talking about the dangers of AIDS, how to find spiritual and community counsel and support once a person is infected by AIDS, and also how to protect against Malaria.

Friends and Organizations
The past couple of weeks I've met with several friends traveling to East Africa. Melanie Brown from Imago Dei just traveled to an orphanage near Jinja Uganda. She'll be there for a month. Kim Davey will be traveling to Amazing Grace and St. Bartholomew's over the course of a month and a half this summer. Michael Christmas and Christ Westbrook will be visiting Amazing Grace in a couple of weeks. And Becca Mayer and Brandi Web are heading to Uganda for a couple months this summer. They will be recording their observations at this blog: Unwritten Memoir.

I also just met with Nathan from BlueTree up in Seattle. Nathan and his organization gather and organize bands and artists together to raise money for humanitarian causes in the developing world. Jan

Babies!
The picture on the left is of Dr. Oronje's little girl Laura. Our team was around for Laura's birth, and she was actually named after Laura Iatesta - who traveled on our last trip! Susan Tabia in Sudan also just wrote to say that Ezbon and his wife just had a daughter which they named "Sagule"! You can email congratulations to Ezbon at: wudezbon@yahoo.co.uk
