Yesterday, we experienced the most interesting election we have seen in Kenya. For most of the day, we were just watching tv waiting for the presidential annoucements and a group of politicians gathered at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre downtown awaiting annoucements from the chairman of the Electoral Commision of Kenya (ECK). They were gathering since 11 am. No annoucements were made while many grievances from different politcal parties were expressed. Around 5pm, the ECK chairman appeared and annouced that the current president, Kibaki, has won the election and is re-elected to a second term and within the hour, he was swon in for his second term. It happened fast! The moment the annoucement was made that he had won, we could hear celebratory screaming, shouting and cars honking just outside our compound. It was LOUD! The people in our area seems happy, that's good! However, we heard that rioting has broken out in different parts of the country protesting the result. Keep this country in prayer. In this volatile part of the world, the peace in Kenya has been one of her greatest asset. Pray for peace to prevail.

Brave man and they did raised the funds!! Too bad I didn't get the 'after' picture! Vickie is on the far left, as a stage hand during one of their drama production. She ...
