Sue, Richard & Toby update 12th November 2016
Sue, Richard & Toby update 12th November Greetings once again from sunny Kenya! The temperature has been in the 30s most of this week, hitting a high of 37 one day. We understand that it’s not quite as warm as that back home! Don’t get too jealous, though: the relentless heat during the day means […]
Sue, Richard and Toby update 5th November 2016
It may be 5th November, but there are no fireworks here tonight! We’ve had a few spectacular natural shows in the sky in the form of electric storms over the past few nights, but very little rain. The 30 minutes we had on Tuesday helped briefly, but much more is needed, however inconvenient it might […]
A journey to Kisumu from Magina
Following last year’s guide to driving in Kenya, we thought we would invite you to join our guided trip from here to Kisumu, the ‘little city’ (according to Millicent) about 30 minutes away. Sue noted down various points of interest along the way. When you read this, you will understand why we pray each time […]
Sue, Richard & Toby update 1st November 2016
We’ve been at Magina, near Kisumu, almost a week as I write this. Apologies for lack of contact – we have had some internet challenges and we have also been busy! But we are all still alive and well – thank you for your prayers and continued interest. A lot has happened since our arrival, […]
Sue, Richard & Toby: expedition to Endau
In the past few days, we have visited the clinic that Pamoja built at Endau. Most people in Kenya have not heard of Endau: it is a remote place. Pamoja trustees built the clinic there because some of them knew the Church pastor, who convinced them that there was a real need in this area. Endau […]
Sue & Richard back in Kenya
Here we are again! We flew to Kenya on Thursday 13th October, flying direct this time to avoid any unplanned stays in Istanbul, such as we had this time last year. Slight hiccup in getting on the plane, as Sue was pulled over in the security check: she had a CD player in her hand […]
Sue & Richard update Saturday 9th April
Sue & Richard update Saturday 9th April As I write in Nairobi late on Saturday afternoon, the rain is coming down and the thunder rumbling around. We’ve had some very pleasant warm days (rather like the best of an English summer) since arriving back here late on Tuesday, but there is definitely a change in […]
Sue and Richard update Saturday 2nd April
Here we are again! Weather report first: most of this week has continued to be hot – so hot in fact that the locals are complaining! We hit 37 one day, but last night we had a thunderstorm (accompanied by the inevitable power cut) and some rain, and today has become cooler – the locals […]
Sue and Richard update Easter Sunday
First of all, a very happy and blessed Easter to you all! Unfortunately it is unlikely that you will read this any time close to Easter as the internet here in rural Kenya is even slower and less reliable than it was when we were here in the autumn, so I’m writing on Word while […]
Sue in Ahero, Richard in Nairobi
The last two weeks have been strange: we don’t spend much time apart, and I have to say honestly (even!) after over 30 years of marriage, we don’t much like it! But it made sense this time for Sue to make the most of the time available, so that’s what we did. So, according to […]
