Almost ready to leave


We leave Canada on September 29 and will arrive in Kakamega on October 2. We know we will have a great deal to do when we arrive. All the computers that were sent in the container must be checked and training sessions organised. Then we will deliver to the schools.

The Virtues Project has been running at full speed in the whole of Western Province and Pat will need to catch up with what is happening. She will be taking some fresh materials for the Kenyan team.

The micro finance groups are also waiting for her to bring news and more money!

Pat's Rotary Club in Victoria has sponsored a new project we are calling "Adopt a Village." We are very excited about this and will be talking to a couple of communities before choosing a location and setting priorities for needs. We'll keep you posted.

It goes without saying that we will also be putting in some more wells.

Then we will meet the students we sponsor in school and know we will have a lot of praise for their hard work.

We're hoping this blog will be a good way to keep in touch with everyone--provided our internet connection will allow us to use it.
feel free to pass the address on and to add any messages to us. We will check it as often as we can.

Pat and Rod, your Rotary club wishes you success in your work,

This blog is a very good way to communicate, you guys, given the fact that somehow we got lost in last year's shuffle. Now I have no one to blame but myself if I don't stay in touch with what's going on in your lives this winter.

We were delighted to see you in early summer and to be included in your very special reunion with friends and family. I have your picture, Rod and Pat, that I see regularly on my computer screen; you're serene and handsome at the dinner in the golf club. John and I will be thinking of you in Kenya and we send you our best thoughts for a great year!
Love, Lynn & John
