IcFEM Mission Board visits Local Transformation Units. July 20 to 23 .

Board visits the LTU Office at Kimilili and also gives thanks for their maize. The latter is a big contrast to much of the country.

For friends who knew Jenny Lipson

This is my last photo, taken with a mobile phone. Mum was stone deaf, so all my communications with her were in writing. You can see the conversations on the table and also the photos she was looking at.

We are in the community sitting room of the Nursing Home.

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!
