Our final workday

Today was Thursday and our last workday before heading back to Nairobi tomorrow for the start of our flights home. It was a day packed with work and saying goodbye to many of our friends who we won’t see again till next year. 

Mark, George and Owen headed back to finish the construction on the addition for student housing at Frances’ house. They did an amazing job to complete all the roof and walls, including the interior partition. It’s ready for concrete floor and will be done in time to house the students during their break. Great job construction team!

The remainder of the team headed back to Solai for our final water filter distribution. We trained over 500 family representatives and distributed filter kits in this area that was devastated last year by the flood from the dam break that killed 48 people. They were very appreciative to receive the gift of clean water for their families. 

We followed up with a distribution of girls dresses and tee shirts and shorts made by the sewing ministry at Bethlehem United Methodist Church. The children were very appreciative and thanked us multiple times, and they showed their enthusiasm running around in their new outfits.
