Hi,
At the beginning of the month, we were invited to accompany a group on a six-day mission trip into the severely drought-stricken region of West Pocot in Northern Kenya. Of course, we immediately said yes, as this region has been tragically affected by the worst drought in 40 years and is suffering from a severe food insecurity crisis.
It will take the team two days just to reach the region, so with the Springs of Hope Foundation's limited access to reliable transportation, this was an easy YES for us. Antoinette has been busy shopping for beans and maize all week, and our students have been busy preparing food hampers every evening in anticipation of Antoinette's departure on Monday, November 28th. We're all praying for a safe and blessed mission trip for Antoinette and the team.
Because of your continued support, we will be able to provide desperately needed food to hundreds of families in a region of Northern Kenya that has been severely distressed by the recent, devastating drought in this region.
Thank you so very much for making this trip happen,
Jennifer Hughes-Bystrom
