Stronger Together!

Today we wrapped up the 2018 Kamp Tumaini. The Canadian volunteers joined CBM's Muslim Ministry team in hosting camp three with refugee children living in Nairobi.
We had an absolutely wonderful time together in Karura Forest on the Northern rim of Nairobi. A big THANK YOU to our colleagues Laura, Patrick, and Aisha for all their work in arranging the transportation to bring children from Eastleigh and Kariobangi to the beautiful sanctuary of the forest.
As this is our last Kamp Tumaini before we complete our ministry with CBM and return to Canada next June, we are so grateful for the opportunity to share the joy of camp with the children of the CBM urban self help group project. Many of these kids have grown up over the past twelve years within the community that Erica has helped to form among displaced families that have gathered together in the Eastlands estates of Nairobi.
Of all of this year's camps, this one has been the most emotional as it marked such a major personal transition for us. We are also grateful for the wonderful team of Canadian youth who have demonstrated the love of Christ to these children and our partners. We will treasure some great memories from our time together with this team.

We are glad to be able to share some pictures from this final camp.
We know that there are several parents from across Canada who are very keen to see how their teenagers are doing here in Kenya. We are very thankful for these families and the congregations that have supported this group of eight volunteers that have joined us from British Colombia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.

We want to thank you all so much for supporting the ministry of Kamp Tumaini and the work of CBM throughout Africa and around the world. As the 2018 Kamp Tumaini draws to a close, we are excited to share that CBM is already recruiting volunteers for Kamp Tumaini 2019 in Bolivia and Kamp Tumaini 2020 in Thailand.
