Our little Canadian
Celebrating Ava's Canadian citizenship with our friends Kerry and Mel at our favourite restaurant, Peppers. Mmmmm.... pass the buttered chicken!
This week, we are preparing for a gathering of Guardians of Hope leaders meeting in Nairobi. We are also looking forward to a meeting of young leaders within the Stars of Peace group that are coming to our home to be introduced to our new youth intern and be a part of planning for the groups activities over the coming months. We are also excited to be celebrating Ava's fourth birthday on Friday. Thank you for keeping our family in prayer!
Hermione getting some alone time...
Hermione has been showing more and more character as our fearless little "Scrappy Doo". She is quick to let Henry and Reese know when she has had enough. It was very cute the other night when she came into our office to get away from the big dogs, jumped into Erica's lap and curled up into a ball: Henry was right behind her, seeing the puppy love Hermione was getting from Erica, Henry jumped up into Aaron's lap (almost knocking him out of his chair) and tried to curl up like Hermione, sticking his massive head under Aaron's arm. We almost past out with the laughter!
Members of the Iftin Self Help Group Leadership
Farhiya, Hani, Laura, Abdiya, and Gelgeli
On Monday, we met with leaders within the SHG project in Eastleigh as we reviewed its progress over the past year. The women have been struggling against several obstacles. The eight groups have suffered great losses in their numbers due to people leaving for refugee camps, persecution, and issues of distrust. Please continue to pray for the Iftin Women's Empowerment Program as they pull together to strengthen the groups.
