So today is our last day in Istanbul, Turkey. We head out in the morning for Nairobi, Kenya. All 6 of the teams on our squad will spend just a few short days in Nairobi before we go to our respective ministry sites for the next month.
We don’t know too many details about what we will specifically be doing (but that’s how we like it!) but I will share what I do know… We will be going to an town called Lodwar. The Turkana people (pictured below) make up most of the population of Lodwar.
Lodwar is in an economically hurting region; education and malnutrition are major concerns. We are told that conditions are very primitive but that the people of Lodwar are so generous, kind, and hard working.
With this said internet access over the next month is going to be very very limited. We will try to contact our families to let them know we are safe periodically but other than that I wouldn’t expect too much. So if you need to talk to me try to do so in the next few days.
To say that I am excited would be quite an understatement!
Love to you all,
Holland
