Very many thanks to you all for your faithfulness in prayer while we’ve been away. It rained something and often and there were times when we really needed a dry night to allow us to travel on the mud roads in the morning, and the Lord heard our, and your, prayers. As usual there was such a lot to do and although our friends who were to open the Library couldn’t come, there were still plenty of things to overfill each day.

• We made contact with a different Rotary Club in Kisumu and have high hopes for the international partnership with this Club. The President was also interested in having a Filter Workshop near his home in Kakamega. 
• We visited Kilgoris to arrange for the new Filter workshop in the Transmara. This should begin with the teaching on 4th November. 
• Angela took the first steps for the well woman clinic, recruiting 3 local women and their daughters to try the Mooncups as a pilot scheme;
• We sorted out lots of things at the school and Dispensary, looking over the new Library, encouraging the kids for their leaving exams, inspecting the new solar scheme at the dispensaryetc, and went to other schools to take photos for potential donors in UK and Australia;
• It took 2-3 hours with Safaricom in Kisumu to purchase the modems to get Ayugi and the High School onto the internet, and learn how to use them. It costs about £10 per month for 300Mb of download which is plenty for the moment. Steve held computer classes for those involved, at a very basic level as they have NO experience of computers. (hard to believe, but we in the UK were in that position only a few years ago.)
• We  measured up and ordered shelving for the Library from a good friend at Skylark in Kisumu. These will be delivered in Feb when we visit again.

Pauline Winn was with us for most of the time and fitted in so well with everything, especially at the school. Her input as a Chemistry Teacher and from her year in Kenya in the 70s was very interesting.
