Kari’s Highlights August 10, 2010

Kari has been sending out email updates to her friends and family and I thought it would be a good idea to post them on here as well. So here are some of Kari’s highlights of Eburru: I think Katie and I could write a book on all of what God has shown us and [...]

Homeward Bound August 9, 2010

Well, today is our last day in Kenya. We will be flying home tonight and should arrive at Dulles by 1:50 pm Tuesday. It was hard to leave Eburru yesterday but at the same time I think Kari and I are both looking forward to showers that aren’t in a bucket and toilets you don’t [...]

Haiku on African Dust August 8, 2010

 Turns everything brown  Clouds coat roads and nostrils fill  The rain comes, now mud

What’s the big deal about DHI? August 7, 2010

Many of you maybe be asking, what exactly is DHI? So I thought I would take the time to give a little background information on it.    December 2008 was the first time I visited Eburru along with a team of 14 others.  About a month before we left someone came and talk to us [...]

Historical Day in Kenya August 4, 2010

Since we first arrived in Kenya we kept hearing  talk from the radio, TV news, taxi drivers, and street advertisements about the referendum for a new constitution. We saw people wearing red (those for against the  new constitution) and many others wearing green (those for it). Supposedly, President Obama gave motivation to the politicians in Kenya that there needed to be a [...]

Solomon July 30, 2010

School Days July 28, 2010

  “We have had many teams visit Eburru but your team that started David’s Hope International was the only one that caught the vision.” These last three days working at the  school have been so good. It is hard to believe that it only started 6 months ago. Currently, the school has three teachers and three [...]

Transportation July 26, 2010

Becca wrote this blog before she left and asked me to post it. Originally when the three of us knew we would need transportation from the guesthouse we were staying to the school we would serve we thought we’d buy bikes for transportation. Unlike the states bikers do not get the right of way on roads! Plus [...]

Eburru Needs You July 25, 2010

Our trio is now a duet. Becca is flying back home today and Kari and I arrived in Eburru last night. It is so nice to be back. So much has been done here since I left 18 months ago. We stopped by the David’s Hope school on our way to camp yesterday and it [...]

Top Ten Reasons Why We Love East Africa July 22, 2010

10.  Fresh mangos for breakfast. 9. Traffic too fast? Build your own speed bump! 8. Coca-Cola Light in glass bottles (we promise it tastes better when it comes out of a glass). 7. Hakna Matata and Pole Pole are their mottos (“no worries” and “slowly slowly”). 6. How many people will fit in a Dala Dala [...]
