Dear ones
We are sorry for taking long on
updating what has been happening here in Kenya. It has been so many
things going on in the last 3 months.
As some of you know we went through
election time, first in August and second time not long ago. During
that time all Kenyan's prayed for peace, and we request to continue
to pray for whole Kenya as the situation is not yet clear though the
results have been announced. Some people died during demonstrations,
half of the population is still not happy with the results, opposition
haven't accepted the outcome. We pray for unity and wisdom for all
the leaders of Kenya.
Lately I also wrote about Henry's back,
he managed to do the scan and went through physiotherapy,
he is still not yet healed completely
but doing better than before, glory to God for that.
I have been traveling to Poland alone
in month of September, it was a short visit though but very happy God
opened the door for me to go. I met new amazing people and I was able
to see my family too. Thankful for all that.
Hannah is doing well, she will be
breaking for holiday in 3 weeks time. During this year she have learn
a lot and now ready to move to the next class after new year.
The good news is that our little family
is going to be bigger, we are expecting new member in April 2018. The
first of the months were difficult for me, now I am better but can't
do much as get tired so easily in this hot weather. Please pray for
strength and healthy delivery, also God to provide for all that. To
deliver in Kenya is costly (we do not have insurance cover), also to
travel to Poland costs a lot. We pray God gives us wisdom and
guidance what to do.
The kids in Kwademu are doing fine. I
am happy to say we got more sponsors for our little ones. Out of 90
kids over 30 children got donors. God is so good.
(If you are willing to be part of this
project and you wish to support a child you are free to ask for more
details. )
Soon the kids will be braking for
holiday as they are closing the academic year. We are planing to
prepare Christmas meal for all children (pillao- rice with meal)
during that time and if possible some gifts. If anyone would
like to contribute for the presents you are most welcome.

we bring joy to others is the greatest happiness in the world” -

We also wrote last time about the
bathroom we started to build for our visitors. Glad to share with you
we are working on finishing part. Not only that but also started to
build another class.
„There is a time for everything, and
a season for every activity under the heavens” . - Ecclesiastes 3;1
In all what we do, we appreciate all
your support, without you we would not be able to reach so far. May
God constantly bless you.
Mirka and Henry Kalume
Good morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of Postcards addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 postcard from each country and territory in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favour:
Would you be so kind as to send me a postcard by traditional mail from Kenya? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a postcard from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Kenya in order to complete my collection. a postcard for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that country with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and a original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Calle Valencia, 39
28903 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
I invite you to visit my blog www.postalesenmibuzon.blogspot.com, there you can see the pictures of all the postcards that I have received from all the corners of our planet.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
