Sue & Richard update Sunday 22nd November
We are safely back in Nairobi, enjoying a few slightly more relaxed days around the family as our time in Kenya draws to a close. Last Monday we went back to the care centre and the school for the last time to say our farewells (or ‘au revoirs’). We had a final singing session with some […]
Sue & Richard update Sunday 15th November
Sorry it’s been a few days since we wrote – lots happening and the internet has been even more temperamental than usual! Last weekend (7th & 8th November) we had a trip to Millicent’s home village, which is about a 2 hour drive away. We understood that we would be staying with Millicent’s brother, Elisha, […]
Sue & Richard update Friday 6th November
Here’s a little conundrum about Kenya to start with. Why, in a country where no one bothers at all if you are an hour or two late for anything, does everyone, when they get on the road, drive as though every second counts? This week went something like this: On Monday, we went into school […]
Sue & Richard update Sunday 1st November

Most signposts, especially those at major junctions, have fallen down if they were ever there. Ask the locals for help. Signalling Right. […]
Sue & Richard in Kenya: update Monday 26th October
First of all, thank you for finding this and reading it! Secondly, apologies that the update has taken a week. Here in Ahero, near Kisumu, we are finding internet connectivity intermittent, and even as I write this I’m not sure when I’ll actually be able to post it! Unfortunately there is no chance of uploading […]
Sue & Richard update
We have safely reached Kenya! The journey was interesting: we flew via Istanbul as this was the cheapest flight available. We thought we would have 2 hours in Istanbul but when we checked in at Gatwick we discovered that our onward flight had been cancelled that day and we would have 26 hours there instead! […]
Sue & Richard in Kenya
Sue & Richard Stannard are heading out to Kenya from 13th October to 24th November. Sue is Tim Griffin’s sister, and we are both long-term Pamoja supporters, based at Velmore Church, Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire. We have been praying for some time about the possibility of spending a bit more time in Kenya, and the combination […]
