Local Transformation Unit Leaders' Meeting on Monday 15th Dec.

The leaders arrived early - many before 8am - and had so much to share. The meeting was wonderfully lively, with many good testimonies, as the way forward for next year was plotted. There are ten LTUs and more planned for next year as God opens doors.

Ann is back home!!

Hello friends!

I am safely back home, but arrived to find big problems connection to the Internet from here. It has been very unstable.

On Monday we had an amazing meeting with leaders from all ten local transformation units. I hope I can post some testimonies from that meeting very soon - and maybe a photo as well.

We are also very happy to see a number of our Mission staff getting married. This December is the month for so many weddings! On 6th, I was still away, so missed witnessing Mary and Anthony, two of our staff, tying the knot. Last Saturday was the turn of our Deputy from Dreamland Education Centre. Next Saturday it will be our Clinical Officer, Sarah, who becomes Mrs!

Power photos!

Great joy as we arrive at a bright Dreamland Medical Care Centre and find Nurse Petronila putting out the paraffin lanterns!!

DMCC lights on at last!!

I am having some difficulty posting photos, but will keep trying!

POWER AT LAST!!!

The Director was away all of September, hence the silence. When all is quiet, either we have Internet problems or I am very busy - most likely both!

NEWS!!

Hallelujah!!

Power has come to Dreamland Medical Care Centre after almost 3 years of prayer and patience.

I'll post a photo as soon as I can.

Trauma counselling for IDP children.

Very many IDP children are severely traumatised. Need for counselling these children was identified and IcFEM Mission is running a very successful programme, which included four-day Counselling Clinics at Dreamland Education Centre. Parents, caretakers and Guardians also had special sessions at a later time and many of them were also seriously traumatised.

Children were given gifts to take home, including blankets, soap and a New Testament. They were also measured for school uniform, which they received shortly after the photo was taken.

Busy here in Kimilili!

Why have there been no posts for such a long time?

I went to visit my Mum (98) Since I got back, we have been VERY busy. Also the Internet has been slow (or off) with power cuts many days.

We had a successful Holiday Club and also a very good Seminar for sponsored students and their parents/guardians. We were hit, as usual, by compulsary holiday coaching in many schools, including Primary. However the Minister of Education has now banned this. Let's trust the ban will be enforced in future holidays.

The Mission has had the AGM and our new Board is elected. (The elected Board members can serve two three-year terms before having to stand down.)

The Mission Director, Solomon Nabie, is in UK at the moment and will be joined by his wife as soon as schools here open and the children are in school.

The Dreamland power is STILL not connected - the transformer has yet to be installed.

I hope to put some photos in my next post.
