| From Kenya 2009 Photo Album |
Heading to the west coast town of Kisumu, we left the drought stricken regions and passed through many tea plantations, a major export of Kenya. This area does not have the tourists found in some parts of the country as the area does not house the animals that are such a tourist attraction. Being on the edge of Lake Victoria, it is not surprising that this area had both greater humidity and a greater concern over malaria as there are more breeding grounds for the mosquito.
The Kisumu distributions took place in a town, 45 minutes to the north, Yala. On the first day, the majority of the children in this rural school appeared without shoes. Following the distribution, Don, Edie & Theo made a visit to the home of President Obama’s paternal step grandmother where they were able to communicate with her through the use of an interpreter. They described a gracious lady who has become somewhat of a celebrity since her step grandson with whom she has had little contact became President.
