News from the Corner

Greetings from William & Grace at Dagoretti Corner.

Dear <<First Name>>,

The Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exams continue for our final-year students at Elyon High School. Standard 8 (final year) students at Dagoretti Corner Primary School start their exams next week, and we will be holding prayers for students and their parents on Friday. The primary school is doing well under the new headmaster, but we need new support of around $1800 per month to pay for teachers as the current funding arrangement finishes at the end of this year. Ideally we would like around $2500 per month as it would enable us to provide lunch to the 300 children who attend the school. If you or your church would like to help make a significant difference in the lives of many children, please let us know.

Members of our athletics team recently distinguished themselves in the Universities versus High Schools athletics competition. Caroline Mwende won the bronze medal in the 6000 metres race, while Bernard Kipkosgey won the bronze medal in the 10,000 metres.

We have been invited to send a choir of 15 people to a large 5-yearly meeting of the Baptist Church of Uganda, which will be held from 29th November to 3rd December. The bus ride between Nairobi and Kampala takes around 12 hours each way. We are hoping to raise around $50 per person to cover the fares.

Please Pray For:

• A peaceful outcome to the Kenyan Army's intervention in Somalia
• People in Kenya who look Somalian and are being treated with suspicion
• Safety in view of fears of possible terrorist attacks
• Grace, who is recovering from an illness
• Integrity of officials (Minibuses are on strike, protesting against police demands for bribes)
• The political situation as candidates try to bring each other down in advance of next year's elections
