Don't Blink

We have reached our final work week here in Nairobi and I am thrilled to say we have completed much more of our project than I thought possible! We have collected new and complete profiles from every micro-business owner in each group that MoHI has (close to 700 people total) and are typing with a fury to creat 2 paragraph summary profiles for each person to eventually go on the CMFi website.
Though I am excited at the progress we've made and the sight of the finish line, I am very sad our time in Kenya is almost at an end. We have spent these last two weeks eating dinner with many of the staff we spend our days with and preparing ourselves mentally to say "good bye", but I know Friday (our last work day) will be a tearful event.
One thing I am sure of is the continued growth and success of this organization. The founder, Mary Kamau, recently spoke at the Christian Missionary Convention in the U.S.A., and the principles and love that began this beacon of hope to those in the slums continue to touch and transform an ever-increasing number of lives. I have been so blessed to get to witness and lend a hand to such an amazing group of people.
