Personal news from Ann

There is so much IcFEM news to give you! Two more Local Transformation Units have been launched and there is much other activity.

I have been away to visit my Mum, aged 99 1/2. She was in a nursing home and suffering from some dementia, but she knew me most days and we had a nice time together, for which I thank God.

The day after I left her, she died. I thank God for His timing of my visit.

So this blog has taken a back place in the days since my return.

12th Local Transformation Unit launched.

Well over 1000 people attended the launch last Friday of the Kabuyefwe Local Transformation Unit.

The first part of the occasion was graced by the presence of our MP.

Photos will follow.

Photos of teachers.

Original photos are quite sharp!! Sorry folks!!

School Partnerships

Recent visitors have included a group of nine Headteachers from C of E Primary schools in the Lichfield Diocese in UK, led by Mrs Rosemary Woodward. Each school is partnered with a local Primary School in IcFEM's area of operation. The teachers each spent a week in their partner school. They have many photos, but mine are only a few - just to give a flavour of the visit.
The final meeting was with each Head of the Partnered schools to discuss the programme. The UK teachers left for Nairobi using a hired bus. IcFEM really needs our own bus for such visits and other activities!
We hope that this partnership programme will grow and include other parts of UK.
I am having trouble downloading photos, so will try in a separate post!!

Visit from St Paul's University in May

A team of Post Graduate students from St Paul's University, Limuru, paid a fruitful vist to IcFEM Mission in May. The 3-day visit was practical work for Masters students in Development Studies.

We enjoyed this short visit - welcome again!

Our gate has been painted at last!

Welcome to IcFEM's International HQ in Kimilili.

The gate is the wonderful art work of our volunteers - Jo, Jo, Jo and Gemma. Thanks to you all. Watchman, Simon, is on the left.

Good News at last!!

Praise God that ALL our farmers now have their seed and fertiliser (DAP). Some planted seed first, waiting to add fertiliser.
We are trusting the supply of CAN (fertiliser for top dressing) will happen much more quickly.
Please pray for the right rain. There has been hail in some places and no rain in Kimilili for the last three days.
