Kenya: day 2
It's day two of my Kenya trip and today was rather restful, but I'll get to that later. First I'll tell more about yesterday. After I posted yesterday our host missionary came by to talk with us. We learned from him that getting our shoes in the country today was nothing short of God intervening for us. He said he recently met with people from TOMS shoes and they told him that Kenya is the most difficult country to get new shoes into. To their knowledge only one organization has been able to get shoes in country which means it was a big deal that we were able to get in 16 large duffle bags of new shoes. Now that brings me to today. Today we dumped out all 16 of those bags and sorted the shoes by size and took inventory. It was quite an incredible sight. People were in awe to see what we later counted and discovered to be 564 pairs of shoes laid out on the sidewalk. Tomorrow morning we leave for rural Africa to take the shoes to a Maasai school and pass them out to the children. We are also going to take food to distribute. I will post pictures later because I haven't taken any on my iPhone except for 1 and it goes out to my friend kristy, I had this at lunch I. Her honor. I'll post more in a few dad after we get back from camping because we will not have any Internet access in the Maasai village.
