There hasn't been a whole lot going on, but here's a quick update.
Life at St. Julie Center has taken on two new additions- professional consultants. They'll be here for the whole week, assessing how productive we are as an organization. They're meeting with our board, community members, local churches and medical professions, children, parents and of course the staff. We had our meeting this afternoon- me, Tom, Angela and Grace had a chance to sit down with them and answer some questions about how we influence the program and what we think about how to sustain the program. For a meeting in Kenya, it was pretty quick. The whole process was initiated by the leadership of the SND's, so I'm hoping that the report that put together says good things.
Life otherwise has been pretty uneventful. I seem to have recovered full from the most recent battle with malaria. Here's hoping I'm done with it for good. Next weekend we have a staff outing for St. Julie's center, although we still haven't all agreed as a group where to go. Later this month we'll head to Kisumu for an overnight (probably for the last time) to buy vacation plane tickets and enjoy being in a city. Its hard to believe its October and in just a little more than two months I'll be back in the states. Kate comes to Kenya on December 8th and I'm so excited. Its going to be wonderful to be able to share my life for the past year with someone from home.

Happy birthday to Laura and Stacy!
