Photos and news from SCF
Nick and the team in Eldoret sent over a bunch of photos recently of the work there. Dax Mitchell and other supporters have been hard at work advocating and supporting the work and families there. Our previous website was www.ukimwi.net - which is now changing over to www.HopeForEldoret.org. The new name represents the broad emphasis of the team now, and is more welcoming for the Kenyan population. "Ukimwi" is swahili for AIDS, and some people don't even want to visit a website with that word.

The photo above is of Mrs. Angote in the new SCF office. She was hired to counsel and encourage the Renew ladies spiritually in their journey out of sex work and into new life. She makes weekly visits to each of the ladies in their homes for a time of prayer. She is also in charge of the Renew store, which is taking in shipments of shoes and clothes currently. Please pray for the Renew ladies, Mrs. Angote, and Nick especially as he's been sick for the past couple weeks.

The photo below is Jeremiah Gitonga working in his new radio shop. Lahash has worked to set him up with a workshop where he can begin to earn money for his family. He is a HIV positive widower, and his youngest daughter Maggie is also positive.

The photo below is of little Lucy. She was assisted by the nurse CarrieAnne Bentley last year with new crutches. She recently made a trip to one of Kenya's largest medical facilities in Kijabe for more medical work including a catheter setup.
The photo below is of an SCF member filming for a production in the slums at a church. Lahash recently donated a video camera and computer (which can be seen at the top of this article with Mrs. Angote). They've been making good use of both new tools, and say thank you to all who assisted with the purchase.

Mama Margaret Interview
The Tenderfeet schools is powering into the new year with new vision, new assistance (Lahash partner Edwin is assisting with the work there) and new financial assistance from friends.

The Mosaic church in Portland, Oregon donated money for a water tank for the school in January, and Margaret sent this photo of the tank in operation this last week. The tank will provide water during the dry times for cooking and for selling small amounts to the community. Please be praying for the children as they have been asked to leave their current rented facility, and as Shadrack Otieno's surgery is coming up this month.

Mike, a friend from Georgia, just returned from a visit to the Tenderfeet School. His son and three other friends will be shooting an AIDS documentary there East Africa this summer. He interviewed Mama Margaret about her work with the school. You can view his YouTube video below.
