Saving lives by fixing Radios
Jeremiah Gitonga is one of our first HIV patients in the Eldoret, Kenya area. He and his children have been our friends for 3 years now. He is HIV positive, and his youngest daughter also tested positive for the virus. He originally had been a radio repairman, but lost his job after customers were frightened of his "slim" disease, AIDS. He has been sickly and unemployed for many years now, but always expressed a desire to return to repairing radios.

Through a recent gift sponsorship with Lahash, Gitonga is now up and running in a radio repair shop near the Lahash office. So far things are going well with the little business! Dax Mitchell is setting up more sponsorships for the Eldoret HIV community - please contact him if you'd like to play a role in saving lives by enabling radio repairs or other small businesses to open up.

Nick has been using the laptop for some video viewings in the slums as well. Many are unable to watch movies or television because of the lack of electricity and from poverty. The showings are welcome diversions in the evenings. This past Easter Nick bought a VCD of the Easter story to share with the friends there.
