The Western Project

This past week has been pretty busy.  A marketing group from the States was here and we spent the week showing them all the different facets of the ministry.  The Western Project is an outreach project in the villages of the Bungoma area of Kenya’s western province that partners with local pastors.  Blue Sky helps with orphan sponsorship, well drilling, Cows for Christ, church development, and Early Childhood Development programs.  We left Monday morning at 5:30 for Western, delivered books to the schools in different villages and shoes to the orphanage, visited the new well drilling site, and drove back to Nairobi Tuesday afternoon.  Needless to say it was a whirlwind trip.  The van was completely packed, but full of wonderful people to share the ride :)  I loved being able to see this part of the ministry.  Probably my favorite parts of the trip included a Kenya vs. U.S. volleyball match, a game of tag with local village kids where I seemed to constantly be "it", and viewing the countryside from the back of a motorbike.  Below are some pictures from the trip!
