This photo was taken just before we left for Garisa after the burning down of a house the previous night. This happened about 500m from where we stay.
We were to drop Bee (right) at the Red Cross in Nakuru and Maureen (far left), Covey and Favor at their parents' home in Nairobi.
This is what is left of all their belongings ... It is totally heart breaking. We are grateful that their lives have been spared. Please continue to pray for this family.
The couple is devestated ...
On our way to Nakuru we found several vehicles that have been burnt.
The worst part however, is the many families that are camping out on the sides of the street ...
There are literally thousands of families that have nowhere to go ...
Hopelessness is written all over their faces ...
Do we have any idea of what it means to lose the place we call home ...?
I don't think so ...
Another vehicle that was burnt ...
This is now on the other side of Nakuru on the way to Nairobi and still we found people camping out on the sides of the street with their few belongings. This specific family has fled from Eldoret.
We found so many vehicles along the way that were carrying people and their belongings ... One cannot help wondering if they have a place to go to.
