re: Kimilili, KenyaVicky Hooper Hi Mike, Really good to keep up with your adventures, sounds like you are both having quite a transformation.

re: Kimilili, KenyaRich Great stuff Mike. It looks like you guy's are doing some really fantastic work. I had quite a day that Sunday in the UK, when you enlightened so kindly, and in so much detail about what you've been getting upto. I hope you can spread awareness at an ever increasing rate, and that things really start to accelerate with the fund raising efforts! Rich x
