We are 7 hours ahead of you  -  not 9 as I had thought. Went to a tiny, 
interfaith Kenyan church service today - very pleasant and cozy. Then we 
went to a shack on the shore of Lake Victoria for fish  ---- whole 
tilapia fried  - eyes and all. No scales though. The waiter brings a 
pitcher of hot water, a bar of soap and a bowl for you to wash you hands 
before and after the meal - air dry. The entire meal is eaten with one's 
fingers.

Note: Labor is cheap, very cheap. "Things" are expensive.

A Quaker from EFI stayed the night here yesterday. He is commonly 
referred to as a missionary in circles hereabouts because he heads up 
the project of a faith-based group. They are headquartered in the state 
of Wash. They distribute molds to make water filters. He travels all 
over where invited (Africa, Caribbean, India)  First he shows a metal 
worker how to make and weld the mold. Then he creates a "water board" 
and trains this group of men and women how to make the filters with 
concrete poured into the molds. When they are all set, he instructs them 
how to fill it with what kinds of layers of sand and how to make it 
work.Everyone gets a certificate after completing the course. These 
little committees are like a cooperative - they learn how to budget, 
etc. Not exactly a micro-grant but the same idea. It is like a gift that 
keeps on giving because once they have the mold they can make their own 
and then make more and more to sell - very important because jobs are 
hard to find. Once they have been operational for a few weeks the 
filters are 95 to 99 % effective at eliminating all the bad bacteria  -  
critical in a country with so many water born diseases.  I saw them 
making them already at the Lugulu hospital which is sponsoring the 
project there on the hospital grounds. Every ward will have one! That is 
so exciting for a place that actually has little to no running water and 
must purchase all drinking water. After they have all they need, they 
will begin to sell them and, hopefully, turn a profit for the hospital.

Last week two other Quakers from Australia stayed the night. They live 
about 1 1/2 hours from here and their "mission" is to teach literacy in 
the schools as volunteers and they are hosting AVP classes at their place.

I am getting the idea. James and Eden Grace and their two sons, Jesse 
and Isaiah, are committed to hospitality to all who are led to be here 
and serve in whatever way. I am so glad to be here. I don't know how 
much help I'll be but I'm learning so much, my head is spinning.

Off to bed. Good night and God bless,
Lisa
