Final water filter distribution

Today marked our last day of activities from our base in Nakuru. We travelled again further north up the A104 and across back country roads to get to Rongai, where we prepared for another water filter distribution. We were set up in an old railroad building across the unused tracks from the train station. It looked like a station from a movie set, and ev n had an old Morse Code apparatus in it. 

We prepared and handed out over 800 water filter kits. This represents over 4000 additional people that tonight for the first time have clean water to drink. So far, since SWOK began distributing water filters, over a quarter of a million people in Kenya now have daily access to clean water.  That is an amazing accomplishment. And their goal is to have that number pass one million by 2020!  And I have no doubt in my mind that this goal will be reached. It has been an amazing blessing for our team to be a part of this project, and we look forward to continuing to be involved in future years. 

On the return trip from Rongai, we stopped for a special late lunch at a roadside restaurant called "The Hygenic Highway Butchery" for roast goat, chicken and vegetables! It was a great meal, especially for the carnivores among us! It was also a good time of fellowship with our team, drivers and other Kenyan friends. A quick trip to the Java House capped off a great day. Tomorrow will be a morning of packing, spending time with the SWOK students from the Tumaini boarding school and then off for the ride back to Nairobi for an 11:30 pm flight back to Heathrow and on to home. It will be a sad time of parting with our friends till the same time next year.
