Zach

On Saturday, our new friend Zach Rowley arrived in Nairobi from a short trip to Kisumu. Zach has been volunteering here in Kenya for the past six weeks. This week he is staying with our family and helping out with the Iftin programs in Eastleigh. We've enjoyed getting to know Zach and hanging out together in the evenings popping corn and watching Christmas movies with the kids.


Today, Zach worked with all three of our morning literacy classes and then, after a trip into Garissa Lodge for lunch, he visited two of the newly formed Iftin women's self help groups. This is a busy week for the girls as they prepare for their final exams on Thursday. Please keep them in prayer as many of the students are balancing family responsibilities, work, and studies. We also hold Zach in our prayers as he makes the most of his last few weeks in Kenya -- he'll be returning to Toronto on December 9th.
