Kim writing; on behalf of Kyle...

Kyle asked that I FORWARD you the breakdown of his trip over the past few days. This is a recap written by his team.

We just arrived at the guest house in Kitale after leaving the Pokot.  The trip was bumpy, but the scenery was beautiful through the mountains.  The Pokot are a primative and tribal group.   They raise cattle, goats, and corn.  They do not eat the cows as that is their currency, and they cannot preserve that much meat.  
 
We saw the well the New Life sponsored.  Since then, 4 additional wells have been drilled throughout their land for a total of 6.  The Pokot have donated some land to City Harvest for a church, and other buildings as they see fit.  City Harvest will eventually have their own well, but it is not drilled yet.  
 
The Pokot were eager to learn and were very welcoming.  They are in need a full time missionary, church, secondary school, preschool, and basic knowledge on farming (other than corn) and hygiene/ health.  A team of 6 people from City Harvest joined us on the trip.
 
We had no health concerns except some sunburn and a sore throat.  A few of us even drank from a well with no problem (yet).  We travel back to Nairobi in the morning. 

Kyle will try to write again soon but he says computers are hard to come by among Rhino's and Monkey's.  :) Kim
