The first part of the day I spent teaching the Mully Model Leadership Course, and even snuck in an hour nap before my noon hour class.  The workshop is progressing very well.  I met Dr. Charles and Esther for a short social visit at supper.  

During the day I met a Pastor Agnes, a visitor to MCF for the first time.  She wanted to know my impressions of MCF and why I return with such vigor year after year.  I had a great opportunity to speak about the astounding transformation of hundreds of children that occur year after year on this very site.  I was thrilled to hear that she has decided to work with the street children in the most remote area of Turkana as she understands that foreign aid as it has been administered for 50 years has systemic flaws that have not reduced the poverty that kills.  Thus, she has decided that Kenyans can do better and is touring MCF to see this highly successful NGO story.  And so each day brings its most amazing encounters.

Two evening encounters were thanks to the cell phone. I called Marsha to catch up on things and then opened the phone up to about 60 grade 12 students who greeted her with the customary joy and hospitality.  Then a number came outside wanting to hear about Jesse, so I called him and they had chance to bring greetings.  What an astounding age we live in!
