The Anglicans in Service Team experienced the most aggressive and life-altering venture to date. The projects consisted of:
- a group of team members, trained under the leadership of Dr. Susan Cooper-Hoult forming a mobile eye clinic and having dispensed over 1200 pairs of eyeglasses which we took with us.
- delivering school supplies to the Sunshine School, under the directorship of Fr. Franklyn Utwomo, in the Kourogoucho slums (accommodated 1.6 million people in a 2 km square, with no running water or electricity!!) outside of Nairobi.
- raising funds for the Arms of Jesus Orphanage, Nairobi, to purchase beds for the children,
- raising funds for a church community in the Bungoma region, to purchase 3 dairy cows, who will use the funds raised from the sale of the milk for community development,
- raising funds for the drilling of 3 wells for water,
- painting of 2 churches in the Bungoma Dioceses, St. Matthew's and St. Andrew's, under the watchful eye of Bishop Wabukala, and
-a four member team travelled to a World Vision site as a fact finding mission, also moved on to a United Nations refugee camp at Ludwar to observe the condition of the camp which housed over 77,000 refugees.
Once we ended our projects in Kenya, we were fortunate to be able to go back in time with a highly educational trip to Egypt. Yes we saw the pyramids and cruised down the Nile, to explore the many temples of early Egypt. However the highlight for most I believe was the trip into the Sinai Desert to St. Catherine's Monastary and stand before the "Burning Bush" and then climb Mt. Sinai in the dark to see the sunrise over the mountainous countryside, knowing we had walked in the footsteps of Moses.
