WHAT'S NEW IN KENYA

There is now a new web site for Tumaini - Huruma Children’s Ministry in Nyeri, Kenya. Click here to see what has happened there since Rev. Ed Danks, a former pastor of Noroton Presbyterian Church in Darien, Connecticut, started 25 years ago.

The 500 preschool and primary school students at the new Rossholme Education Centre in Kiambiu slum in Nairobi are now back in their classrooms for the second term. They are enjoying their new classrooms. Click here for photos of the "New" School. Thanks to a new supporter, the students will soon have chrome books to help with their studies.

Please visit aflik.org to donate to help with teachers’ salaries, and for food and books for the students during this first term of the 2026 school year.

WHO WE ARE

We are self-supported missioners – and we thank the people who have rented our Roton Point unit and our home for a month this summer. They are making it possible for us to spend six weeks in Kenya where we’ll visit friends - and see students in Nairobi, Kitale, Nyeri and Meru, who are being supported by friends here in CT.

Many of our young friends in Kenya 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

Marilyn’s “Redbird” photo will be hanging in the Community Sponsored Show at Rowayton Arts Center. The opening reception will be on May 17th – and all are welcome.

Marilyn will also have notecards there – some of “Redbird” and some taken from the beaches in Rowayton. Your purchases will help needy kids in Kenya to go to school.

Marilyn will also make note cards with your choice of any of her photos on this site. Please see Photo Gallery and let her know which photos you’d like on cards she’ll make them especially for you.
