Day 13: Reflection with the directors and surprise visit from table banking trainers...

           Today the team had a meeting with the board of directors for Solidarity House and many points where discussed in regards to many of projects and locations the team visited during in the duration of the stay. In the meeting many points where raised and ideas to work on and moving forward plans where created to aid the discussion process. It was very successful and some structures where put in place in order to aid the implementation of the new ideas. 

           The team where then having a relaxing evening before they received a surprised visit from the table banking trainers who came to show their appreciation and say their vote of thanks to the team... It caught everyone off-guard. They also thought is was Uba's birthday today which was a day ahead nonetheless the team where still very happy to have them around as we sat around tables and enjoyed each other's companies.  

After Sleeping Suzy joined us, Pamela restarted her speech and then they started the surprise gifts...

The gifts kicked off with Pastor P, Fiona and Tope...

Then they moved on to Mario and Suzy, Osase and the Birthday(to be) boy Uba...

Uba trying to guess his present...

The gathering then drew to a close... 

The following was extracted from one of the diaries of a cloverleaf missionary... 

    "Today was really good... The meeting with the board of directors was so successful I cannot wait to come back and see how the proposed changes will be implemented into the committee. I remember Osase almost howling at one of the directors for the answer to her question was rather funny... For some reasons today the arrow root tasted extra sweet... Maybe we are finally getting used to the taste though... 

       The evening was so nice the table banking trainers really blessed us with gifts... It was so good to hear them testify of the good things that has happened since we got here and even what is to come from the partnership we formed...  We all really like our gifts and more so the time we got to spend with them... When they were leaving Osase and I went on secret hunt for a mixtape for Uba's birthday tommorow. 

        I really cannot believe we only have one more night in Kenya.... WOW!!!!!!" 

One more post till Kenya 2013 the Journey in Video.... Be on the the look out...

Day 12: Visit to Victory women SHG table banking group

Today the team headed out to another table banking group the SHG Victory women...

Breakfast kicked off with Pastor P's bright blue socks

The bus ride 

The women's group was located on the site of a primary school

We watched the banking group in action before we were introduced to the group... 

Mario addressed the group

                      After the team was introduced, the leader of the group talked on how the group works how it was formed and then we headed out and spent some time with the kids before heading back to the center... 

Mario played game of Aye-Aye Captain with the kids 

Back at the center, we had having a relaxing time some went on a walk around the area and they came back with thorns ... 

The team then spent the rest of the evening preparing for the Brainstorm and reflection tomorrow with the board of directors. 

The following was extracted from one of the diaries of a cloverleaf missionary:

" Today was very nice, we are getting so close to the end and well everyone is starting to realise that in a couple of days we wont be in Kenya any more...

Mario's speech at the table banking group was very inspiring the people here must understand that money is not everything Jesus is everything. It was great to see the joy in the children today as we spent some time with them even though they all kept calling Suzy 'Sooo-sie" and apparently Mario means woman in Kimeru.

I am really looking forward to the reflection tommorow, there is much work that needs to be done and the early we set a plan out and commit it into God's hands the better."
