46. An exemplary project update “ The violence that has erupted in Kenya following the disputed Presidential Election has resulted in tragic loss of life and a massive problem of internal displacement. More than 250,000 innocent Kenyans have had to flee their homes - simply because of their tribal origins. All the Alive & Kicking balls that you are currently purchasing are being sent to the camps that have been set up to provide shelter for the displaced. Kenya Red Cross, who are overseeing the camps, have been given 200 balls so far, and 70 balls have been sent independently - 20 to a camp alongside Kibera in Nairobi, and 50 and a larger camp in Kitale. According to our friends at the Red Cross, until the balls arrived, there was little else for the children to do to help pass the long hours in their temporary homes. So thank you all for making this possible.” A donor’s comment: Martin, thank you SO much for providing this update. With the unrest you are experiencing, it is good to know both how the funds are being used and also that the soccer balls are making a truly tragic situation even a little bit better for the kids.
