Back to the Grind- well sort of...

So some things are slowly getting back to normal here. My school opened this week and I was able to go into Nairobi for church on Sunday. But other things are far from normal. So many people are homeless- either their homes were destroyed in the chaos, or they have been forced out of their homes and areas. There are 2 different refugee camps in walking distance from my house- 2 different camps for 2 different ethnic groups.

We were able to contact a lot of the families that we work with in Nairobi- their houses are still standing, but food is a major concern. All of the shops around them have been destroyed, so even if they had money to buy food- there isn’t anywhere to buy it. So now we are working out how to feed these families.

Here is the break down of casualties during all of this:
250,000+ internally displaced people (but we are hearing rumors of figures as high as 600,000)
5000 Kenyans as refugees in other countries
600 dead

Please continue to pray for Kenya. Tensions are still high and there are many things that need to be resolved before Kenya can even start to rebuild.
