Acres for Agnes

A visit at Christmas, December 2014

Duane and Zach love modeling clay

One of Duane's creations with modeling clay

Duane is also quite creative with his own clay, made out of mud

He always loves to show me his latest creations!


Tony and Adu show off their strength with their homemade weights

Adu is making ugali, the main staple in Kenyans' diets. It's a thick corn meal mush.

Agnes had several hundred bricks made out of the mud from a termite hill. She hopes to sell them to buy a cow.

Zach and two neighbor boys enjoy the swing


Another good visit, April 2014


Agnes and I invited Mary Alu, Mama Manu and her boys, plus Pastor David for lunch.

On our way to visit friends
Agnes and I always enjoy visiting the Alu family, who live somewhat near Agnes.
In the photo are Edgar, Anaya, Agnes, and Mary.
The box on Agnes' head was a gift of produce from her farm, for our mutual friends - Bishop and Margaret Wanjala.


Beautiful foggy morning at Agnes' farm, located in the Nzoia River valley
