Not only ducks like rain!

A couple of birds at the Eastleigh Community Centre looking for high ground this morning, as rain fell on Nairobi.

It was wonderful to see rain falling on Nairobi this morning as we travelled into Eastleigh with several guests. The long dry Kenyan "winter" should soon be coming to an end as rain clouds gather for the rainy season. Along with approaching rain, Kenyans are also anticipating the adoption of a new national constitution this Friday, August 27. The president has declared the day a national holiday for people to join parades and celebrations being planned throughout the nation.

The newest members of Iftin

Earlier this week, we were also thrilled to meet the newly enrolled members of class one. Please continue to pray for the women of Iftin, especially these women as the begin the difficult task of learning a new language.
