Last meeting with KASFOOC OrphansThe true beneficiaries

Some Rotary beneficiaries of both fish and clean water- 26 orphans (21 shown- they kept trickling in).  The little girl in the pink dress had both parents die when she was 1 week old

At the KASFOOC meeting we finally get a picture with both of us in it- usually one of us is behind the camera.

Joyce translates for Tanya

Some of the widows and orphans with Terry and Tanya- soda supplied by a 12 year old who does fundraising in the Nederlands and sends enough money so all the kids can have treats. all these children have lost at least their father.

After a prayer, opening comments, a song or two and a couple of poems about AIDs and education from the children I had one last chance to give a 10 minute lesson on fish feeding, tadpole culling and other tricks of the trade to get your fish to market size fast and at a profit.  Later on we met with the KASFOOC board for one last accounting session.  Today we meet one more time to hand KASFOOC (again) some gadgets to help them monitor and report back to Rotary the Fish Farm progress: computer + camera+ cell phone+ GPS+ chargers and batteries.  We will also do a few photo ops and get a few pictures of TnT in the same photo.


It has been so great to have these last 3 weeks to ensure the fish farm project gets a good start.  We have had time to meet with Rotary , Rotoract, sponsored students and make sure everything is on a good footing.  We areleaving today calmly and not in the whirlwind of our last exit in March. We are not sure when the rest of the springs will get built, the sites have not even been selected, but our relationship with RC Kakamega is sound and I am sure they will be completed.  We have done everything we can do and 1000's of people have clean water, so we didnt want damage our relationship with RC Kakamega by pushing too hard to get our own way.

Now I go for my last run in Africa for a loong time.  Its Sunday morning, we have 39 hours of travelling to do before we reach Vancouver airport.
