Alpha CFC Diary!

Children at Mothers of Joy school trying to secure education.

Children with hope for the future

Hosting Internationals In Kenya!

When Hope in life is the last notch in the life ladder!
Poverty in Africa ad beyond has really made it sad for the entire lifetime of the human person to be quite disgusting within certain extreme conditions.Therefore people have ended up living in quite messed up circumstances and also engaging in quite degrading economic activities just In the search for a better living and daily bread for themselves as well.
Therefore as a CFC participant trying to campaign on ending economic injustices it is disheartening to experience the vast injustices that are happening on a personal basis with putting in mind the disparity between the rich and the poor people.This is very evident as you can see people who have more than they can consume and living in extreme comfort while someone else is living below 1USD a day.
With all these said and done I had a chance to experience the first hand information on my first visit to the National Council of Churches Kenya community center in Huruma which has a Community hospital with very subsidized rates putting in consideration the low income of the community members,Youth resource center which use art and drama to do advocacy on pertinent issues in the community.
My first visit was an awesome encounter with very young innocent children whom because of the effects of poverty they had to do with what was available to them but that did not mark the end of their lifetime as they still have hope that they will one day make it in life with the little they have.Thanks to the community project by National Council of Churches Kenya which has provided somewhere for them to acquire some knowledge and we meet with them during a normal school day in the Mothers of joy Informal school.

Amsterdam airport stopover

Arrival in Norway!Amsterdam National Airport
All the way from Kenya we leave with a 10; 55 o’clock flight and through Amsterdam where we arrive at around 5; 45 with our next flight being at 7; 05.Here we are confused of which way to take so that we can get to the flight bay and with lack of attendants at the airport but very many signs which most of us are not used to we get lost for some time and then afterwards get our way to the bay. Having traveled all night we are very tired and having some time with us to rest we take a short nap on the chairs at the waiting bay and funny enough is that we get to have a very good sleep even though not comfortable at all. After a short while we get to board the flight to Norway and within no time after an hour and 45 minutes we are in Oslo and there we meet Thomas our coordinator who receives us with a very warm welcome to Norway by saying Velkommen which means welcome in English and we say Takk meaning thank you.
