Hitting the Ceiling
Andai played "spiderman" for us crawling the rafters as we work this week
in renovations at the Eastleigh Community Centre.
Erica and the demolition crewA big thanks to Ryan and Jason, members of the BWA youth team, who lent us a hand in Eastleigh today as we worked with Andai in tearing down a rotten ceiling in our ESL classroom at the Eastleigh Community Centre. We are excited to be able to spruce up the classroom for the Somali women who use this space for learning English and supporting one another as they struggle as women living in a male dominated culture.
Tonight we also had the pleasure of getting to know the Chute family from Truro, Nova Scotia. Tim and Lisa have come to Kenya with their two sons, Max and Simon, to live and serve at Rosslyn Academy where Tim will be the middle school principal. It is great to have fellow maratimers living in Nairobi!

Glad you guys finally got to meet Tim and Lisa, was hoping that would happen soon after their arrival. I have been reading your blog regularly and praying for all of you. Seems like all is going so well for you. The kids are growing up fast. Take care!!
Good to see that you have the chance to host and work with my friend Ryan - I can't help but imagine that you guys would get along great and be a good encouragement to each other.
Have to say, though, that I'm jealous of all these new groups and visitors you have... I wish that was still us!
