First full day on the ground

We had an awesome first full day on the ground. After breakfast and a team meeting, we headed in our vans (with our fantastic drivers and friends of 3 years Rufus and Happy James) to a shop that sells local crafts produced by women in challenging circumstances. Their sales help to provide an income for the women to support their families and provide resources for the AIC (African Inland Church) to fund their feeding and education program in the Deep Sea Slum for primary school children. From there we went into the church in the slum

to interact with the children and assist in feeding them lunch, the only meal a lot of them will get for the day. Over the three years we have been going there, we have noticed the improvement the efforts of SWOK (the ministry we partner with)

made in the healthiness of the children. 

From their, we traveled to a store if Amani Ya Juu, another women's empowerment center to have lunch and purchase more locally produced items to support them and to bring back and sell to raise funds for our next trip then it was on for the 4+ hour drive to Nakuru to Tumaini Cottages and Conference Center, where we will stay till next week. We got our rooms and had a team meeting before turning in at 10:30. Tomorrow will be our first day of construction on the church at Rongai.
