The slum visit was fairly confronting. As poor as the people in Ruarka are this was far worse as pictures will convey. People literally living on top of one another. The tin structures around Ruarka look palaial compared to this slum. The Nyeri Church provides support to orphans but has not yet developed an organised HIV program although it is clearly required from what I saw frm the people we visited
I retired from overseas relief and development in April 2022 and then spent six months in Tanzania working in Musoma as a volunteerassisting the Anglican bishop. I am assisting with capacity building across various areas of the diocese. In 2023 I led a tour of 18 Australians who visited and observed the work of the church in the Mara Region - three dioceses - Mara, Tarime and Rorya.
