Highway Construction in Nairobi
Over the past year, the investment in infrastructure in and around Nairobi has been incredible. Kenya is creating new by-pass roads (unfortunately, none are dual carriage ways), around and through the city. Of course, anyone familiar with road construction knows that it leads to detours and long traffic jams. Multiply that by a hundred and you have a bit of a picture of driving in Nairobi. Our 15 minute drive into Eastleigh can now take us 3 hours in the rain!
Security issues have become more intense in the city as Kenyan authorities carry out sweeps for Al Shaabab. Everyone is taking extra precautions, including our friends in Eastleigh. Our projects continue to go ahead, but we covet your prayers especially for the Iftin ladies and their children as they walk back and forth from the community centre.
We know that a lot of family and friends are seeing some pretty scary images in the media, but we want to reassure you that we are safe!
Hi Aaron & Erica,
ReplyDeleteHi from Moncton! I am preparing to share at the Baptist Women's World Day of Prayer event on Nov. 7th and was wondering if I could have permission to use a few of your photos to show what CBM has been doing with the drought relief. The theme of the program is kindness and I hope to highlight several CBM programs to illustrate how giving can be a kind thing. Bronwyn & I continue to enjoy reading your blog - blessings!
