Christmas Gifts

On December 22, 2012 By Harry and Annie Bergshoeff

This morning there were three monkeys near our tent in Kilifi. We think their purpose was to get us into the mood for Christmas. “How so?” you ask. Well, we shared with our family that in order to keep from feeling sorry for ourselves about not being home for Christmas, we have booked an animal Safari in the Masai Mara.

Mementos

On December 15, 2012 By Harry and Annie Bergshoeff

Yesterday was the first day of a new round of food distributions. This series will conclude next Thursday, just prior to Christmas. It also marks the fourth and final set of distributions that we will be part of. The January and February distributions will be handled by our replacement World Renew International Relief Managers. It is touching to witness the reactions of the beneficiaries as we go around to some of the distributions and say ‘goodbye’. Today, the Chairperson of the local committee in Ndavaya gave Harry a wooden spoon as a memento. It had been hand-made by one of the beneficiaries. Invariably, the goodbyes are combined with very intense requests that the food distributions would continue beyond the end of February as many of their recently planted crops are once again withering from lack of rain.
