George's Aunt


We were fortunate to travel to Nakuru and visit with George’s dad and rest of his family. Because of the generosity of the folks at IHM parish and school, I was able to give 220,000 Kenyan Shillings to George’s aunt. She and George’s dad traveled (that day) to the Central Province and purchased a piece of property in a safe location. In the months previous, her land was seized, house and belongings burned in the violence in Eldoret. It was the second time she has lost everything to tribal violence. The new location is safe and near to relatives that can be of assistance since she is handicapped as well.

You can’t imagine the joy this gift has brought to the family. They not only purchased property with a simple dwelling on it, but also used the extra money to buy a cow. They move to the property on March 17th. Thanks to all! George promises to get pictures and send them ASAP.
