We made an appeal for support, be it used clothes, or financial, for those of our colleagues who were displaced from regions that suffered in the post election strife three weeks ago.
Friends in Arusha, under the command of our sister Caroline Otieno responded by sending to us at KCDN many bales and bags of used clothes. Migosi Sam Okello from the US sent to us Kshs 6,600.00 for fuel. This was followed by Kshs 6,500.00 sent to us by Migosi Richard Mungla from Mozambique.
We still need more support to make our visit a success.
In our visit, we wanted to make some special contribution to Mzee Bernerd Orinda Ndege who lost his family in Naivasha as well, as we reach out to the many IDPs that we have all across Nyanza.
We have not reached our target as yet, and we would like to appeal to any other well wisher who might want to support this initiative, to kindly support us support our IDPs.
We will account and make public all that we receive from people of goodwill. This is the calling of our time that should see us close ranks in support also of the political initiative that is also ushering in peaceful coexistence.
At KCDN, we have been involved in evacuating some of our colleagues from strife torn zones, and we have spent some considerable some of money in trying to give support. In this programme, we received Kshs 20,000.00 from our friends in London through Migosi Joram Odus.
To all our benefactors we say thank you. Your support and selflessness has been inspirational.
To all our colleagues, if you want to support us in our Nyanza visit, kindly send in your donation to the undersigned. We intend to distribute the clothes we have received over Easter Holidays to various stops in Nyanza.
Thank you and God bless Kenya.
