Grassroots Gifts

Sarah Huff down at Camp Eagle put out a creative can for the kids in Sudan. It was in the coffee shop this summer and people dropped tips into the bucket. They were able to pull in $80 and that was sent to Susan in Sudan. It will be used for the health and education of the kids this next month. Thank you Sarah and the Texas team!

If you have any other ideas or ways that you'd like to help out - let me know. Your effort makes a huge difference. Lahash is designed for easy personal participation in these East African projects. Do you have anything planned? Email me at: dan@lahash.net if you do!

Kenya Community Progress
Nick sent some great new photos of the work this past week. He and Dr. Oronje and visitor CarrieAnne Bentley from New York have been busy attending to the needs there. CarrieAnne brought a visitor from Holland for a couple of days. They were staying in Nick's family compound. The photo below is of CarrieAnne, her friend, and the little white ambulance.


Speaking of the Little White Ambulance... Nick reports that the steering column snapped the other day and it wouldn't be safe to weld it back together. The battery is also practically dead and they often have to push start the little machine. The repairs will most likely be $100 for the battery and replacement parts. Let me know if you'd like to help out with that.

The other news from Kenya is that this past week several organizations helped sponsor a large soccer tournament in the slums. There were 11 teams playing against each other. Dr. Oronje and others took the time to counsel the youth on the dangers of AIDS and how to avoid being infected. The team from Nick's slum area (Silas) took home 2nd place in the tournament, and his brother Daniel was on the team. The photos below are from that day:
