Greetings from Kenya!

Brydges Centre ground breaking with founder Rosemary Wafula

We have had a great experience here in Kenya. After arriving on the evening of 3 March and getting a good night’s sleep, Scott and I hit the ground running, scheduling meetings and all the other things we hoped to accomplish.

The first couple of days are always rough due to jetlag, and this trip was no exception. Our first priority has been the new water well, or borehole as it is called in Africa, at the new Brydges Children’s Home in Kitengela just outside Nairobi. Unfortunately, the driller contracted to drill the bore hole has been delayed due to complications at another bore hole. This has set the timing back on the bore hole at Brydges Centre until sometime in April.  We are trying not to be discouraged as this was one of the main focuses of our time here; however, in Kenya it is impossible to make things happen just because “we are here and this is our plan.” Read the rest of this entry ?
