On a rainy and cool evening, I opted for a raclette supper. (Almost) all the ingredients are available in Kenya.

Am Sonntag Nachmittag hat sich die Wandergruppe zu einem kleinen Ausflug getroffen. Wir umgingen das Gelände der Thompson Falls und kletterten hinunter zum Fluss mit der Idee, ihm ein Stück zu folgen.

A fundraising variant that L'Arche Kenya uses for i "Stretching our Limits #UpMt.KenyaByWheelchair" campaign and that was new to me. Hereby, not payslips are distributed in front of a shopping mall but shopping lists.

Recently I was invited to a celebration for the 20th wedding anniversary of one of my office colleagues. We - that is two Comundo guests from Nairobi and me - went off.

And once more a trip of the hiking group came up: This time we went to Mount Longonot near Naivasha. It is the crater of a volcano that erupted about 5 million years ago and is considered asleep.

Recently I came home and the water was gone. My roommate had already noticed it and learned that it also affected the neighbours to the left and the right. The whole row of teacher's houses, including that of the headmaster, was on dry land. 

The disposal happens here individually, that is, everyone burns his rubbish behind the house. There is a garbage collection service, but they do not come to my house. And they do too just burn the waste on open ground at the town's edge.

During 2018, St. Martin CSA started a new project aimed at people with mental health issues. In a pilot phase lasting 6 months, a team of social workers assesses in a defined area near Nyahururu the occurrence of mental health problems and examines whether the approach of St. Martin can be applied to tackle this topic: Giving immediate assistance before engaging the neighbourhood to care for the long term needs and find a sustainable solution that allows the afflicted persons to lead a dignified and fulfilled life.
