A Hospiltal Visit


We had the privilege to take Janet to the government hospital here in Kenya. Janet is a woman in her 40’s. She is not sure about her exact age. She was diagnosed with TB, weighting only 39 Kilos. Every day we encounter needs of people who have very little means to even get the basic medical treatments or daily nutrition. We hope to assist her with treatment, transportation and food. World Food Shortage is a reality here in Africa. We are grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in at least one family’s life. Love and blessings to you, Maria & Gil

Beach Walk








We just returned from our morning stroll along the Indian Ocean. The billows are rolling and the beauty of the white soft sand is amazing. Along the way to the beach we saw a big lizard, encounter some monkeys and a variety of beautiful butterflies. Come and stroll with us!

Everyday Life in Kenya




Every Day Life in Kenya


Everyday Life in Kenya


Shopping in Kenya is a bit different then what we are used to in Europe or America. Here you see some pictures of Gil and me buying our daily fresh vegetable and fruits. Lucy is always overjoyed when she sees us and greets us with a warm “Jambo”. Often she would give Gil an extra piece of fruit and calls him lovingly “Papa”.

The Post Offices are slightly different too. Today the camels parked right outside of it. The little window in the middle is were the clerk stands and serves us. Life is much slower here, but Gil enjoys that.

Hi Friends

Life in Kenya is an adventure. This week we caught two snakes. One in our neighbor's garden and this one on our veranda. The Africans insisted that both were poisonous and dangerous. There is not a dull moment here. My mother tells me that I am crazy for living here. She might be right. I went to Psalm 91 that talks about live here and I learn to apply it. I hope it doesn't scare you away from visiting us. love, Maria
