In Turkanaland

Last October John O'Donoghue, a fellow MKLM, had the opportunity to travel with a five member media team from the Maryknoll Society. We went to Lodwar about an eight hour drive from Kitale. While we were there we attended a confirmation at an outstation in Lorubum and went to Kakuma Refuge Camp. Here are links to post I made about them:
Lorubum Confirmation and Kakuma Refuge Camp.

Nine months later the Maryknoll Society magazine published two articles about our trip. The title of this issue of the magazine is "In Turkeanaland". Some of you may have the actual magazine, but for those of you who don't here's the link. I remember the young woman on the cover!

This is Michael Ball, one of the reporters interviewing Father Luke who runs a Don Bosco Vocational Training Centre at Kakuma.

The article titled "Famine in Turkana" by Kathy Golden was written at the confirmation. I danced with the women as the processed toward the church. You can see a picture of John O talking over the fence. Actually, that photo was taken at the airport and they were discussing soccer!

The other article titled "Guided by a Saint in Kenya" is about Don Bosco, a program run here in Kitale by Russ. You can see a picture of him!

On page 19 I have a similar photo of the kids at Kakama Refuge Camp singing to us in the chapel area!
