We had made an appeal for support in the ongoing humanitarian assistance that was occasioned by the post-electoral violence that gripped Kenya for the first eight weeks of the year.
In that period of time, we at Komarocks Community Development Network made two daring ventures into Naivasha and we helped in evacuating some of our people who were caught up in the worst flare up that we ever saw.
We made an appeal for help, and we are very thankful to Migosi Odus Midae, and his team from London, who gave me Kshs 20,000.00 in support of our ongoing humanitarian support.
Mr Odus, who has been in Kenya, called me on Monday 3rd March and we met the following day 4th, together with Migosi Dennis Orero in town. Mr Midae gave me Kshs 20,000.00 then, and, we at KCDN, are very greatful for that support.
At the same time, we have been receiving bales of used clothes that will go a long way in supporting those of our colleagues who have been displaced. Most of these have come from our friends in Arusha, Tanzania.
In the ongoing spirit of National Reconciliation and Reconstruction, we thank all those Kenyans who have so far supported our efforts at KCDN. Special mention must be made of Mr Sam Okello from USA, Mr Richard Mungla from Mozambique and Ms Caroline Otieno from Arusha. Your support has not been in vain.
Your response and support has made us to play the small role we at KCDN are making in support of those affected by the post-election violence. It also strengthens our resolve to be positive in the evolving spirit of cooperation.
With your support, we look forward to playing a central role in the National Reconciliation and Reconstruction in the envisaged new Kenya.
