A Quick Update
Hi everyone - just a quick update on the Kenya situation. As you know, I have been very worried about the family of my sponsored child in Kenya since the recent trouble started. I am mainly able to contact the family through David, the brother of my sponsored child, using his university email address. However David was on university holidays when the trouble started, so I knew it would be a while before I heard from him. I just hoped that when he did have news, it would be good.
I’m very pleased to report that I received an email from David not 5 minutes ago. Here it is, verbatim. I’ll sleep a little easier tonight, knowing that my friends are OK.
Hi,
I am very sorry that i have not been in touch for along time.I have been away on holiday and could not get some internet access. I reported to school on saturday 9th. Iam doing fine and the whole of our family is good and doing very Ok.
There has been alot of wars in our country for the few weeks due to the just concluded elections in the goverment side rigged the polls.Alot of people have died and others displaced.We thank God that there were no much fighting in our District and so we were not displaced.
There is alot of economic difficulties in our country today.The post-elections violence has greatly affected most of the public and private sector.Fares and most of the common people`s commodities are extremely costly.This problem is bound to continue since the goverment which the public voted out due to corruption and tribalism,is the one still in power. It would have been better if the opposition party took over.
Recieve much greetings from Kantet and the rest of the family.Dad and mum say hi to you and they really congratulates you for having been able to finish your school and secure a job. Kantet is currently on his last year of the primary school and hoping to join high school coming next year. Kiko is at home having finished his high school and hoping to join the college.
Thank you And hoping to hear from you.
David
