Dear Veronica,

We confirmed the wire transfer today and we managed to withdraw and purchase a gas stove, cylinder, hose pipe and regulator. Thanks so much for all this. I'll go there tomorrow to show them how to operate it and get some photoes. We have just finished and I left Caren on the way to CRM to deliver the items. The rest ammount we shall use on food items. I'll give you breakdown of costs of the items after tomorrow. Floods were very extreme in some areas very close. The closest was about 20 km away at a place called Kano in Nyanza - as you approach Kisumu from Nairobi about the last 15 km stretch just before Kisumu town. The other badly affected place was about 130 Km away near Kenya Uganda border. The villages we currently operate in were safe due to ragged and slopying terrain. Otherwise if we had capacity, we should have tried to assit the Kano people. There are very few NGOs operating there although the government insists they (govt) did enough to avoid blames during elections. They also down play the Nyanza (Kano) case so it does not reduce there popularity in the region - Nyanza always complain that the govt. is innefective.

Again thanks so much. And meanwhile, are there any plans about the school supplies? Especially uniforms?

Regards,

Tobias
