On Saturday, June 4th, we made our last trip of the year down to the Vumilia IDP camp in the Rift Valley. ISK art students had painted an old desk for the library (to serve as the librarian's desk) and their vibrant designs gave the desk a new sense of life and purpose. We delivered the desk on Saturday along with a box of books from Canada that arrived last week. A wonderful selection of Robert Munsch stories, Clifford and Franklin stories, and young adult fiction titles have now joined the offerings on the library shelves. During our visit we were able to chat with the country director for Habitat for Humanity; he was on site to direct a team of 200 doctors and church members building houses for the day. We are already looking forward to finishing up projects at the library in 2011/12, and we are also excited about the budding women's cooperative and our involvement with their economic empowerment projects. What a blessing to be involved with this community!
