Kenyan Developments in Agriculture & Economics

Before leaving for the Voi Wilderness Lodge this morning, we drove down the road where we were told there had been a "kill." We were able to see a pack of lions sitting full and content under a bush and right beside them their water buffalo kill. Rather glad we happened on it "after the fact."

We returned to the Ngua Mlambo Development Trust (NMDT) program so that we could follow the director to the village we were to visit. After a bumpy dirt road ride, we arrived and were joyfully greeted by a group of women and men singing and clapping for us. After our extremely warm welcome, we sat on benches outside, opening with a prayer, introductions, then explanation of their goat raising project. World Neighbors gave them their first buck and two does in 2006 and since that time they have bred and upgraded their herd so that they were producing more milk and becoming more valuable animals. The villagers told us of their challenges and future plans. Very touching and humbling how special they made us feel. Spirit filled pastor gave awesome closing prayer. I have no idea what she said but I felt prayed over and blessed!
