WHAT'S NEW IN KENYA
The Rossholme Education Centre in Kiambiu slum in Nairobi is welcoming its 500 plus students back to their classes for the new 2026 school year. What has happened there during the November and December school break is truly amazing! Click here for photos of the "New" School. It now looks like a real school – no more mbati (galvanized metal) walls and roofs with holes through which water dripped in the rainy seasons. In addition to the nine new classrooms, there is also a new library and computer room. Please visit aflik.org to donate to help with teachers’ salaries, and with food and books for the students during this new school year. |
WHO WE ARE
We are self-supported missioners – and we thank the people who rented our Roton Point unit and our home this past summer. They made it possible for us to spend time in Kenya again - our 20th time there. We visited friends - and students in Nairobi, Kitale, Nyeri and Meru. Many of our young friends were in high school when we met them. We helped them to attend colleges - and now we’re helping some of their children to go to school – since schools are not free and good paying jobs are very difficult to find. |
WHAT'S NEW IN ROWAYTON
The current exhibit at Rowayton Arts Center , which opens on Sunday, the 11th, has over 100 pieces of artwork that RAC instructors and students created in the past year. The next show, which opens February 8th, is Abstraction, and Marilyn will have a photo hanging there. She will also have some notecards and unframed photos there. Your purchase of any of her photos and cards will help kids in need in Kenya to go to school. Marilyn will also make note cards with your selection of any of her photos on this site. Please see Photo Gallery and let her know which photos you’d like on your custom-made cards. |
