The group met one final time tonight in preparation for the trip to Kenya. The students and chaperones gathered to weigh suitcases (no one was over the 50-lb limit!) and distribute amongst our various bags the many gifts we will bring with us to Mutomo.
Many thanks to the Grutzners for hosting us (Barb specially prepared a delicious meal for us that we likely won't be able to eat again until we return from Kenya) and to Martha Dumler, who notarized all of our medical forms. Our thanks also go to the people who donated gifts for us to carry along. We have all kinds of toys, clothes, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and more to give to our future friends in Mutomo.
As we get ready to depart, we ask for your prayers that our travels will be safe and that we will contribute meaningfully to the work the Sisters of Mercy are already doing in Kenya. Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement as we embark on this great trip.
Safe travels to you all.
