WHAT'S NEW IN KENYA

Construction work has begun at Rossholme Education Centre in Kiambiu slum in Nairobi. When the new 2026 school year starts in January, one of the buildings will have been completely rebuilt with all six classrooms enlarged to meet government standards and the library upgraded and remodeled. Over the next four years all existing classrooms will be brought to government standards and several rooms added.

Please pray for all the grade 6 students who are leaving Rossholme to be able to move on to good junior secondary schools in January.

And please visit aflik.org to donate to help with teachers’ salaries, food and books for the 2026 school year.

WHO WE ARE

We are self-supported missioners – and we thank the people who rented our Roton Point unit and our home this past summer. They made it possible for us to spend time in Kenya again - our 20th time there.

We visited friends - and students in Nairobi, Kitale, Nyeri and Meru. Many of our young friends were in high school when we met them. We helped them to attend colleges - and now we’re helping some of their children to go to school – since schools are not free and good paying jobs are very difficult to find.

WHAT'S NEW IN ROWAYTON

The Christmas Gift Show at Rowayton Arts Center will open November 28th, the day after Thanksgiving. Marilyn will have two photos hanging there – one of elephants and the other of rhinos – in beautifully carved frames from Kenya. She will also have notecards – some with sunsets seen from Rowayton beaches and others of wildlife while on safari in Kenya.

Marilyn will make note cards with any of her photos on this site. Please see Photo Gallery and let her know which photos you’d like on your special cards, custom-made especially for you. Your purchase of her photos and cards will help needy kids in Kenya to go to school.
