Last night the Harambee 2010 team of volunteers arrived home from Kenya.

The team have worked in the Kipkelion District for the past 3 weeks completing many projects in the areas of health, water and education.

They have many memories including:

• The welcome
• The smiling faces
• The children playing
• The hardship and sheer survival
• The beauty of the mountains
• The joy of clean water
• One bag and a half of maize per person per year
• Present of pumpkins from a bursary student to say thank you!
• The face of a newborn child
• The importance of maternal health
• Pancakes and tomato porridge!
• The new children’s ward in Londiani District Hospital
• Rugby in Fr Martin’s house
• The openess and willingness to learn from the maternal health attendees
• Meeting people in their own homes during the surveys
• The excitement of new communities
• Painting hands in the newly painted children’s ward
• The new FOL office and its community
• The breathtaking view of the Rift Valley ... simply no other place
• Full moon on the lake!
• Meeting the FOL Kenyan Board
• Java coffee!
• First harvest of Bethel Honey – sampled by all!
• The blessing of the new FOL office in Londiani.
• The donkey who acted like an alarm clock every day
• The lasting friendships ... and amazing times shared

Thank you to all those who supported Harambee 2010 in Kenya - the volunteers, their friends and families and those who made this project the success it was.
