LLU Church Mission Trip
Slightly ahead of schedule, the LLU mission group landed in Nairobi July 7th at the early hour of 1:30 AM. With only one piece of luggage missing, the group loaded up and began their journey towards the Mara. At the half way point the group enjoyed a hot breakfast before arriving at Mara West Camp.
After a much needed night of sleep, the group started their first day at the project - working on the Oloosinon Primary School cafeteria. The school children welcomed the group with a few traditional songs and dances - even getting a few of the group to join the dance!

Oloosinon Cafeteria – Plastered!
Plastering the Walls!
The project of the Oloosinon Primary School cafeteria was started back in February of this year. We are thankful to all those who gave financially and of their time to make this building go up! While many volunteers come and help get projects up quickly - there is a lot of behind the scene work that our local construction crew does both prior to a groups arrival and after their departure. Currently the crew is busy at work plastering the walls... A special thanks to the crew for all their dedicated hard work!

Child Sponsorship Program
In September of 2011 a child sponsorship program was started with a Sabbath School program at a church in Parsons, Tennessee. At that time I had no plans of starting up a sponsorship program with AMS but within a couple of weeks I received an email from Kensington that a woman’s group was coming and the leader was interested in sponsoring two girls. In October the Broad Horizons Women’s Group visited the Emurototo Primary School – and in total sponsored 17 children! Since that time others have heard of the program and it has grown to now involve over 40 children!

Maasai Bead Project Started
Completed: November 2011
Location: Project started with a few local Maasai women to make beaded items – sell in gift shop.
Yesterday, Thursday November 10, 2011 - a new project was started! Lindsey, from Michigan has come for three weeks to help the local Maasai women start up a women's bead project. She is attempting to help the women upgrade their products and make them in colors that would have potential for having a larger market. Work is in progress... Thank you Lindsey for coming to get this project off the ground!
