Naiberi swan song

Naiberi is about one hour drive from our campus. It is located on the Nairobi road from Eldoret town.

I was so surprised to spot a group of domestic geese swimming in the creek along the Naiberi camp side.

This remind me of my childhood back in 1960's at our home village in Kotamobagu, where my brother and I must go along the creek which cross our village to find our geese and brought them home.

The squealing  voice and stretching neck of the geese really brought back the nostalgia of our home village.

We really can not predict what life might give us. It was really a refreshing experience to recall the beauty of my childhood joy here in Africa wilderness.

VOCE ANGELICA

Voce Angelica is the children choir, formed by UEAB Music department as part of their children music program, which was developed and led by Aylwin and Kathleen Yonathan. They had done several performances in campus as well as in Nairobi. The following pictures is from the Fund raising program which was performed on Saturday evening Novemeber 5, 2011. It was such an outstanding witness of our UEAB children. Their angelic voices really touched all of us.

We also must appreciate Aylwin and Kathleen and the Music department for their works.

Sabbath with Outreach group at Kibabet

We went for an outreach program at the Kibabet Tea Estate, Nandy Hills. It was a very nice program, though we must walk for more than 3 km through a very muddy road. We met a group of High school students who invited us to have a short program with them. After the Divine worship we went down to the cave and waterfall. In the afternoon we distributed the certificates to the faithful outreach senior members, who will finish their study this semester and outreach sponsors.

A day with less fortunate children- a UEAB Bizman program

Mlango Waterfalls

Mlango waterfalls is actually very close to our campus. One may take a walk for 4-5 hours to reach this beautiful place from Bara.

It is located between Chepterit and Eldoret in Mosoriot area. I recognize the spot where we were stranded during the Kenya post election evacuation, from here we took left turn going South-west to the Mlango waterfalls and camp site. There were no sign, but you may ask the people around Mosoriot, they all know the place. We went for a Sabbath program with Bizzman Club and was so surprised to find the stunning beauty just right before our own eyes. 

 It's been almost four years for us here Kenya and we have passed the road many many times without even knowing this Kenya natural beauty is just next to our home.

Baraton- the spring of salt water

According to the story from the village people, the real Baraton is located at the spring of salt water down on the valley near Kimondi.  A beautiful area along the river and valley where lush green of papyrus grows abundantly and provides an ideal sanctuary for the Tatunga - African deer, mongoose, and many different kind of birds. Going around this valley really taking me into the real living Eden I usually watch only in National Geography channel.
