BLOG #8: Housing Update

Dear Friends and Family,

I wanted to share some great news about our housing! Yesterday, we found out that Pastor Wang'ombe (the main Pastor that our church has been partnering with for the past 5 years, the one we've been in contact with, the one that is helping us with our schedules, our transportation, our food, our escorts, etc etc) has opened up his home for us to stay there! We will be bringing our sleeping bags to Kenya and all the girls in our team will sleep in one area and all the boys will be in another room or area!

This is great news because not only is it so considerate (imagine you and your family - he has kids too! - sharing your home with 11 foreigners for two and a half weeks), but also it shows how seriously he is looking after our safety. His home is in one of the suburb areas away from central Nairobi called Kahawa Sukari and is considered to be a middle-upper class neighborhood. He will arrange transportation for us everyday to go to the orphanges and the slums, but at least in the evenings we will be protected in the comforts of Pastor Wang'ombe's own home!

So humbling to see that kind of generosity and kindness...
