The Faces of Kenya

On January 10, 2013 By Harry and Annie Bergshoeff

In less than two weeks we will be back in Canada!  Much as we look forward to being reunited with our cherished family and precious friends, we regretfully leave behind many wonderful Kenyan people. Next week, in our final blog for this project we will tell you about the dedicated and gracious staff at World Renew and our very special partners at Pwani CCS.  However, in this blog we want to share some of the stories of the people we have met during the past four months who, through your generosity and that of many others, have received food they would otherwise be without.   Theirs are the faces and the stories we will never forget.  Here are some of their stories as they were shared with us through interpreters.  The people being interviewed gave consent to have their photos taken and to publish their stories.

New Year’s Wishes – from Kenya!

On December 31, 2012 By Harry and Annie Bergshoeff

Traditionally we have ushered in the New Year with friends, sharing our joys and sorrows of the past year and our hopes and prayers for the year to come.  This year we will be missing this time of fellowship  – instead, our New Year’s Eve will be celebrated on the banks of the Talek River, overlooking the Mara plains in the Masai Mara.

No doubt at this year’s gathering of friends, there will be a game of trivia about the newsworthy (and otherwise) events of 2012.  While we won’t be there to participate, we thought we would share some of our own trivia – things that we have found interesting and fascinating during the past three and one-half months spent in Kenya.  We hope you will enjoy them.
