It has been a long time since I've written about Kenya so I hope you will be touched by these photos and brief report.
It has been raining a lot in Kenya and for a rather long time. Different issues have arisen here and there in the country, primarily flooding and destruction. My friend, Jonah has been in Kisumu, north west of where he lives. There is has been volunteering to try and help some of the flood victims. (Click on photos to enlarge).

The workers had to use boats to reach out to the people in the far flung islands created by the floods.
Please pray for the rains to stop in Kenya.

The people are praying for help and for the rains to stop.
If you would like to make a contribution to help them, you can send donation of your choice to kerichojoy[at]gmail[dot]com
If you would pray for the people that would be so encouraging also. Thank you so much. Click on the link to join others for Our World Tuesday.

Wow, those rains are creating powerful rivers causing destruction as they rage beyond their banks. I prayed for the rains to stop and for the people affected and the helpers.
very worrisome scene .Let GOD stop rain .
Praying.
Floods in some areas, and drought in others. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
I know this area as very green but water can be destructive and to the North in Ethiopia is a lack of water.
The weather has been weird, with droughts, floods and these horrible tornadoes. I do send my prayers for the victims of these floods and I hope the rain stops.
I cannot imagine what it must be like to lose your home and any means of supporting yourself.
Oh, how terrible. I hope the rains stop.
What a different world!
Hope they remain safe and the rain stops.
o, Kenya is not a country you would think suffer from flooding. :(
I doubt that prairs will help.
I believe very much in prayers. Thanks for your visit.
I am hoping very hard for the rains and flooding to stop Penny. x

Hello Joyful
Congratulations on your new "blog design" - just great.
Great pictures you show. Wish you a good Wednesday :) Hugs Hanne Bente
I'm so sorry to hear about the mishap in Kenya. They are blessed in a way because you sure have a huge heart for them. Enjoy the rest of the week, Ms Joyful :)
It's quite strange on how some parts of the world are praying for rain, and some parts pray for the rain to stop..We need balance, some how :-)
I do hope this phrase will pass for them..
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I would never have thought they would pray for the rains to stop in Africa, I hear so often of drought. Always good to learn the truth.
Oh my goodness, what a disaster. I pray the rains will stop and people will be able to clean up their property.
