Progress is Being Made in Kenya

 Praise the Lord!

All child development centers have resumed activities, and schooling in Kisumu and Nyanza has resumed.  Centers in tension-filled areas have found alternate sites to carry out their activities.  Mediation efforts in Kenya are starting to bear fruit.

 

Chief mediator, Kofi Annan, has stated that Kenya will soon see short term solutions to the political crisis. 

Affected child development centers have enjoyed a time of calmness and activities have resumed.  But, attendance has been low because parents are hesitant to send their kids.  Compassion is providing affected centers with disaster training and equipment.  Compassion is also providing post-trauma counseling to affected children and their families.  Houses, churches, and classrooms are starting to be rebuilt. 

Please Pray for:

1. Children who have seen the violence
2. Mediation efforts
3. The needs of affected families
4. Safety of Compassion-assisted children, their families, and Compassion staff
5. Peace
