It has been amazing to work with the members of this VIM (Volunteers in Mission) team and I am thankful that I have been able to be part of the group even though I will not be able to go to Kenya at this time in my life.
A couple of weeks ago I read the story of Maasai people in Kenya grieving with Americans after the September 11th attacks and wanting to help. "Because there is no nation so powerful it cannot be wounded, nor a people so small they cannot offer mighty comfort." I got a picture book titled: "14 Cows for America" by Carmen Agra Deedy in collaboration with Wilson Kimeli Naiyomah. The story explains that to the Maasai, the cow is life. And therefore, they gave 14 cows to the American ambassador. More information can be found at www.14cowsforamerica.com.
It is so fascinating to learn about other countries and our sisters and brothers around the world.
