Paul Harris Fellow
A quick update. By all accounts everyone at the orphanage is doing well, as is Sunrise and the chicks. I hope to get another update soon and will post it when I do.
This past weekend I was named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Sunrise Rotary Club, for my work in Kenya. It is given "in appreciation of tangible and significant assistance given for the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations among peoples of the world".
Also, my friend Hannah Dingle has returned to Kenya to work with Uweza Aid Foundation. My Kenyan friend Daniel Mogere works with them as well and when I was in Kenya last year I met Jen Sapitro, one of the founders. If anyone missed donating to HOME or would like to help again, you can donate to Uweza through their website:

They are a registered charity, so you'll get a tax receipt as well!

giving both eggs and meat and being male and female
It feels like ages since I left Kenya, though it has only been 2 weeks. I miss the kids a lot and am trying to figure out how soon I can return. It will be awhile, for sure.giving both eggs and meat and being male and female
Here are more pictures from the project and there will be more coming. I will also post a report on our day in Kibera soon and am working on a financial report I can send to you all if you are interested in seeing where all the money (close to $7000) went.
More thank yous are in order and they go out to Anna Vigilante-Meyes, Dorte and Helge Jacobsen, Amy Bjarnason and Paul Mancell and Garth and Rita Green.
