Kenya Update - A report from James Oyugi, Feb.
28, 2008
Dear friends,
Peace be with you all. I just wanted to tell you that at the end of a tunnel
there is light. Today this evening we witnessed a pact being signed by our president
and the opposition leader and an agreement reached which at the end may bring
a lasting solution to the crisis. We thank the American government for standing
firm with us; we also thank the former UN secretary, the AU, the EU and other
world leaders. We hope this is a God given chance and it will benefit the people
of Kenya. We are praying that everything be passed into a law so that we don't
experience a similar case. The entire country has broken into celebration. May
the lord bless you all. Bye - James

The city of Kisumu was at once in motion of cleaning the city. People had said
that now since they have been given hope in the new government, then it is
now their time to express their happiness and solidarity with Raila and ODM
by cleaning all the messes which were still on the roads. You could not believe
what was happening, but I tell you Kisumu residence were happy. The celebration
went on through out the night.
The celebration was in all areas of Kenya. Western to coast were all
celebrating, North to South were all celebrating. We are all saying " God’s
name be glorified. God Bless Kenya, and God Bless our Leaders." We
are continuing to pray that all the implementation of the things which
had been signed should be quick. We also would like to thank all of you
for being with us in prayers all this two months period. It has been
such a long two months, during which Kenyans knew nothing but sadness,
pain, suffering and difficult life style. We can now look back and say
that our God has never abandoned us. We will keep you posted on any latest
development. For the cross of Jeusus -Peter & Annh Andhoga
On December 27th, Kenya held presidential elections that
appeared to be rigged. Violence broke out throughout the country.
Mobs burned houses, and shops. There is fighting between tribal groups,
and many people have been killed or displaced. It is amazing that
a country can go from economic leader in East Africa one day, and
become a smoldering heap the next. This is just more evidence of
the fallen world in which we live. Over the past few weeks things
have settled down some.
100%
of funds sent for Kenya Relief will be used for meeting needs in
Kenya
Ring Road School,
Kenya, Africa
The school
borders on a slum
area and many of these children are coming out of absolutely deplorable conditions.
Many have lost one or both parents to AIDS. Some live with family members who
are drug dealers. Drugs and crime are rampant in the slum area.
But amazingly, these kids have their goals set on the future. They are training
to be leaders and role models for their comunity. One of the boys, Elvis, scored
highest on academic test scores in his state (Nyanza province) and 11th in the
entire country! Both of his parents died of HIV and Elvis lives with a sister
who sells drugs. The teachers at the school often take Elvis home to
stay with them on the holidays so he doesn't have to return to his home environment.
Lynette, who wants to be a nurse, scored 5th in the
state and 21st in the country. Her mother is HIV positive. When Lynette
received her test scores she came to Jared Ochiambo crying. "I won't
have a future, because I have no support for high school!" Jared
says it is hard to say "NO" to the kids. One grandmother cried
and refused to leave the office until her grandchild was accepted into
the school. This school gives hope for the future and help in the present.
The children receive 2 meals a day, 6 days a week. With
your help, these children WILL have a future .. . Click HERE to
