A special thank you to those that donated

We have been lucky enough to put together another cash donation to George and his family. We are still on our projected pace of donating $500 every five months. It is especially important now, as Kenya has been suffering a severe drought. It has rained very little since we left. They normally have two rainy seasons, but the one that happens over the winter never fully realized. In a country that subsists on rainfall for most of it's irrigation, a lack of rain can be devastating. So, hopefully the money will allow George the opportunity to supply his family with what he needs and hopefully he is saving some towards having his own car. This last bit may be the most important, as we still do not know if George will keep his job at the Manor or not.

It is very important that anyone who reads this understands that most of the donation came from friends, acquaintances, and even distant acquaintances who donated because of what they read on this blog. We would like to thank Valerie Masey, Robin Nash, Pat and Bitz Haley, Monica O'Niel and Mark Habib for their generous donations. It is when people chose to help perfect strangers that makes the world a much smaller and better place.

As they say in Kenya, Asnate Sana.
