First Day in Kipkaren

As Pastor Peter just said moments ago "God Bless for this". In as few words as I can say as precise as possible, these people are exactly that: a blessing from God. They are beautiful and incredibly eager to bring their community a step forward, one day at a time.


Today we were greeted by children singing and smiling faces--wild clapping and eager glow upon seeing Dr. Fitzgerald return to their village! So much to say in so little time. The clean water project has brought so much wonderful change in their lives. The medical clinic bringing education, teasting, and treatment, and Jenifer's Living Room/Hospice showing love and care...and hope.


The new passion fruit fields are almost satisfied with empty dirt holes waiting for their 1st plantings. Mom and dad caught on fire getting their plans ready for the new garden plantings surrounding the newly constructed living room.


I am honored to be here and feel incredibly humbled being amongst these people who have certainly got it all firgured out: what it's all about. I know this is just the beginning. Thank you, people of Kipkaren.
