The Mercy Care centre Choir is finally in the Lake town-Kisumu.This is a town famed as the nerve town to Preferential trade area.Thus its potential is being realised as things begin to look better for East Africa.In addition it is one of the town on the second largest fresh water lake in the world.This in essence means that we will be eating lots and lots of fish for the duration we are here.Mainly the Tilapia species(McDonald should have been here)
However it MUST be born in mind that the town has a lot of mosquitoes which will make us easy prey for malaria.
At this point will must thank Dr.Wynne and his team for leaving a lot of Malaria tablets.They will play an important role.
We started off at 11.00 am in school and were expecting to have a slow but sure journey to the lake.Our vehicles(two) between them they had five punctures and three mechanical problems.This delayed us significantly.What is encouraging is that the lord granted us traveling Mercies and we are here to sing.
We must comment the Kitchen staff who had traveled earlier for the warm food we found and a cup of tea.It gave us hope.
We are all residing in a church next to the music venue.The accommodation is very minimal.We use mattress and a blanket or sheet.No special preferences for any body even the principal.
The two buses were very expensive to hire and we will have to adjust a lot of things for the budget to work.
We all send our love to you all an promise to do our best.

Patrick,
Just make sure the students enjoy their time in Kisumu and enjoy it and learn from it as I know you do as always. I know you are frugal with the finances but this is an important opportunity for MCC and as always you can count on me.
Good luck,
Wayne
We are grateful you all arrived safely (I am sure very worn out) and have provided the students with wonderful opportunities.
We will keep you in our prayers for safe travels home!
Bethany
