Kokom Team - Final blog

This is our last full day in Kipkaren. The weather has been beautiful, sunny during the day and an afternoon shower most days. The wood for the beds finally arrived today so we’re hoping to get a couple beds finished by the end of the day.
It has not been lost time as we have had a wonderful time everyday with the children. They are really amazing. We’re going to have crafts with them today…what fun! We also spent quality time with the women this week as they each made floral arrangements and place mats. We also made worship banners together for the church. Yesterday we went to home visits to HIV victims. What amazing stories they have to share. How courageous they are. We visited a family who had lost a husband and father just last week. Our hearts were broken as the wife has no source of income and her children are very young.
We had dinner last night at the home of David and Allison Taurus. He was one of founders of ELI here in Kenya. He also oversees the milk collection business in Kipkaren. All is well as we head for Nairobi in the morning and off on Safari on Saturday morning. Pray for our plane rides on the small planes as Diana doesn’t do well on them. We have been blessed on this trip! Praise the Lord!
