- Hi Mary, hope you are doing well. Yesterday an antelope came running into our school compound and almost killed one of our teachers. A brave student caught it by the leg and it kicked him to the ground. It was caught about 10kms away from our school and was slaughtered for meat by the village people. I don't like game meat. Do you have antelopes in your country? Here they are found in game parks and big forests but we don't know how it got here. Say hi to the kids.

- And when i come to Kansas, i will slaughter the chicken for our dinner, i do it here most of the time. Do the children know how to slaughter chicken? Children here walk very long distances to fetch water, they carry it on their heads in jerrycans of 20 liters, which is too much for a child. I will send you photos of these children with water on their heads. I have a plan to start fund-raising for a 500 liter plastic tank for each family to trap rain water to ease the children from the water burden, i am sure it will work. We need your prayers.
