Thanks to all who are commenting on the blog, either here or on Facebook!  Your comments are very encouraging and appreciated!!  Yes - all the pictures are wonderful - official photographers are Leah and Nick Boon, many thanks to them for taking this responsibility on!!

Today we visited the last two Food Security sites that our schedule would allow!!  That made 7 out of 8 current sites!  We are waiting for reports from the 8th, as well as the 4 maintenance sites, where our role is monitoring.

This morning we were at Muse.  For those of you that followed us the last couple years, this was the area where Rachael always taught outside.  Well, the church building is finished, and it is definitely one of the nicest buildings we have been in.

Rachael and Leah taught about disease prevention in cows as well as transfer to humans!  One important point is to ensure you do not drink straight from the cow!!  Remember to boil your milk for 30 minutes - then put it in the fridge to rapid cool!!

One man told us that due to the increase in Vet service, Dr. Felicien as well as the Paravet, things were much better in the area.  Felicien was called in to his farm to look after a sick cow.  All worked out well.  He was so thankful he brought 10L of milk to the church in thanks!

After the talk, representatives from the association showed us their store house where they are storing 200 kg of Irish potatoes.  Some are for seeds for the next planting time, others they will sell to get money for fertilizers.

We could hardly see these two men until they were pointed out! They were bricking in a well!!

In the afternoon we went to Kibilizi.  We had just over 100 people show up for the talk!  In conversation with the beneficiaries, Rachael changed tacks on the teaching.  When she heard that there were 5 farmers with unvaccinated dogs, plus a lot of wild dogs running in the area, she decided to teach on rabies and the importance of vaccinating.  You could tell from the reaction in the faces of the crowd that people were unaware of just how serious it was!!  We are hoping that the five owned dogs will be vaccinated ASAP!

After the talk we were invited for tea and to sign the guestbook in the pastor's house.  We were privileged to meet his newest child - a 2 month old!  Alayne had some baby time!!
