WHAT'S NEW IN KENYA
The Rossholme Education Centre in Kiambiu slum in Nairobi welcomed 500 plus students back to their classes for the 2026 school year. What happened there during the November and December school break is truly amazing! Click here for photos of the "New" School. It now looks like a real school – no more mbati (galvanized metal) walls and roofs with holes through which water dripped in the rainy seasons. In addition to the nine new classrooms, there is also a new library and computer room. Please visit aflik.org to donate to help with teachers’ salaries, and with food and books for the students during this new 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 the past twenty summers. They made it possible for us to spend a lot of time living in Kenya, visiting friends and seeing students in Nairobi, Kitale, Nyeri and Meru, who being supported by many 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
Abstraction is the exhibit at Rowayton Arts Center this month. There are 77 pieces of artwork by exhibiting members, including one of Marilyn’s, hanging there. Marilyn also has notecards with photos taken in Kenya and Italy there. Your purchase of her cards 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 especially for you. |
