Cows.

A number of Mission staff have milk cows, not only for their family needs, but also to bring in some income to care for their family.
At a time like this, when the Mission is struggling to pay staff allowances, it is very hard to lose a milk cow. This has happened to both Macdon and Leonard in the last few days. Please pray for them as they adjust to loss of income as well as losing a "family friend".
Also pray for God's protection for the rest of the staff animals as well as the staff and their families.

Volcanic ash cloud affects our teachers!

A group of teachers from Kimilili were booked to travel to UK on the Global Partnership teacher exchange on Friday. The volcanic ash cloud over UK means they are having to wait in Nairobi. What a disappointment after all the preparation.
Please pray for God's solution to this unexpected problem.

Ann is away from home!

News for those who know me is that I am now in USA, until May 11th.

Any IcFEM friends who would like to talk to me, please e-mail me c/o IcFEM (Europe).

I am getting exciting news from Kimilili and will either post myself or ask someone else to do it for me. Please pray for me and the rest of the Kimilili team.

In particular, please pray for visas for Daniel and Rosemary who are expecting to attend a Course in Devon, at Bicton College. They are due to travel on 16th April, with the group of teachers, most of whom already have their visas.

Dreamland Medical Outreach Clinics "Hospital on Wheels"

We have just completed our first 3 DMCC Medical Outreach Clinics. The ambulance has been such a blessing,taking the team from DMCC and housing Alex and the Pharmacy. We saw over 130 patients this month. At Kiminini we were welcomed by the Local Unit team who worked keenly with the DMCC team to see 73 patients treated, eyes screened,children immunised and reading glasses, mosquito nets and waterguard dispensed along with quality medicines. The good news of Jesus was shared and pastoral care provided. Everyone seemed delighted with the new initiative and we look forward to our return on 20th April. Praise God for such an exciting new beginning.

Harambee Foundation, Holland.

The Directors of HFH have just left after a very good visit to IcFEM (and a few of their other friends in East Africa). They were also visited here by their Committee and other friends.

They have done wonderful things for so many schools in our rural community.

This time they saw the completion of five school building projects and these were handed over to the schools and the local community.
Classrooms etc in four Primary schools: Luuya, Lunyu, Makunga and Mukuyuni
A Lab in one Secondary School: Mukuyuni.

I am sorry I don't have any photos, but hope to get some in the future.

Thank you, Roel and Marianne and all your team. may God bless you richly!

New LTU at Cheptais.

Here are some photos of the Cheptais launch. The school Hall was PACKED, as you can see. People were outside as well. Many came. Children entertained with colourful activities.
Estimates of the attendance ranged from "over 2000" to "just under 3000"

The LTU has built its own Office, which you can see being opened after the Launching Service. The Director is seen signing the visitors book inside the Office.

Wheels Team arrives.

Today the team from Wheels for the World arrived safely in Kimilili from UK. The wheelchairs arrived safely some time ago - no last minute problems this time, thank God. Distribution starts on Monday.
