For Kenya’s Kids is a brand new organization currently being set up to help financially support Mabadiliko Care International, a charity which runs a primary school in one of the poorest suburbs of Mombasa, Kenya.

Mabadiliko Care International was founded by Jacob Muoga in 2004 and is recognized as a charity by the Kenyan government. Ambitious plans for the future include opening the school to more students, acquiring desks for all the classrooms (only 2 currently have them), building a boarding facility, and providing a health center focusing on tackling HIV and AIDS epidemic in the area.

Most of the 249 students are ophans, HIV positive, often hungry and otherwise struggling to get by. The school provides its students,aged 3-13 years, a cooked lunch each day  and for many, it is their proper meal of the day.

Spirit Rising is operated from the Mattaponi Indian Reservation located in the Tidewater Area. The reservation is one of the oldest in our country near Williamsburg and Richmond. For the past 18 years Spirit Rising have been helping the Native People and Families in Virginia, South Dakota, Arizonia, and Nebraska.

After becoming aware of the basic needs of their people , they were confronted with the fact that they could not do it all. They set up an organization with the Guidance from the Creator and help from many good-hearted people.  As a result of their efforts, they were able to help with food, clothing, furniture, counseling, dentistry, eyeglasses, utilities, and advocacy for their families suffering from domestic violence.

Spirit Rising has helped to establish the Mattaponi Healing Eagle Clinic.

HRO hosted a benefit expo on Friday May 2, 2008.  It was a great night of food and fun.  We were successful in raising money towards our ongoing projects and efforts to help others.  There were several restaurants in the local area that donated food for the event.  The entertainment was wonderful, with four different dancing groups that joined in the fun.  We were dazzled by their interpretation of middle eastern dance and other styles of dance.  We hope to be able to do this again next year and have an even bigger turn out.  We would like to say thank you to everyone that helped to make our vision into reality and their continous support of HRO. 

Joe Byers/Vice President/HRO is now a member of NAYD (Networking of African Youths for Development).  Joe Byers will work together with Thomas Mitchell to coordinate ongoing projects between HRO and NAYD. He will be providing educational humanitarian support to various regions of the world.  We would like to congradulate Joe Byers on his ongoing efforts and continual support to the help those in need.

 The stability of a political system, the continent or
whatever way of life depends on whether its principle of
legitimacy is perceived as justified. African states for the
passed month had been unstable, as prices of basic
commodities are experiencing a great rise; situations of
violation of human rights, lack of freedom and violence
against youths are also prime.
In this twelfth edition of INSPIRE African youths set out
to acknowledges that the cultural and social realities of
modern society impose certain tasks and constraints upon
our attempts to make sense of the proper nature of
development through articles on human right, freedom,
democracy, justice, violence and the millennium

BAPESU Seedling Project Report

The seedling project is organized by Benevolent Association for the Protection of the
Environment and the Socially Underprivileged (BAPESU).The targetgroup for the program were
the youths (young people) of the Mezam Division, NW Province of Cameroon. The goal of this
 project was to assist youths with seedling inputs so as to help the youths open farms that
 in turn will act as a good source of income (economic empowerment).BAPESU is running a
nursery whereby seeds are purchased, nursed and distributed to youths (young farmers) in
helping them improve theirlives. Youths of many villages in Mezam (Tubah Sub Division) have
benefited much since the launch of the project in July 2007. This project as implemented
With support from XminY SolidariteitsfondS.
Outcomes: 5 villages have been covered in the seedling program with 11 youth groups
benefiting. 6 new farms have been established and the beneficiaries have already been
experiencing some improvement. BAPESU has established a permanent nursery to assist young
farmers.
Condemnation of Police Brutality against
Coast Civil Society Activists

The Civil Society Fraternity at the CoastThe discredited ECK cannot be allowed to continue wasting taxpayer’s money in opulent hotels with a business as usual attitude and to continue to enjoy impunity. This is totally unacceptable and must be vigorously resisted and rejected by all citizens. The Police are thus totally wrong in trying to defend people (ECK) who should themselves be charged with criminal negligence and crime against humanity. Strongly condemn the barbaric brutality and
arrest of 10 of its core Members, lead by Hussein Khalid of MUHURI, by the Kilifi Police. The activists had a constitutionally guaranteed right of expression and opinion. They too had a right to peacefully present their grievances and petition to the discredited Chairman of the Electoral Commission of  enya ECK, Mr Samuel Kivuitu and his equally discredited team. The ECK cannot burry it’s had in sand and pretend that nothing happened. It was the fiasco of the ECK results of the December 2007
Elections that lead to the death of not less than 1,000 innocent Kenyans and the displacement of another 500,000.
We also demand the immediate and unconditional release of the Activist. The Police must stop political persecution of the people of this country whose only offence is to demand for their ights and justice. RELEASE THE INNOCENT WOMEN IMMEDIATELY OR WE WILL ORGANIZE THE MOTHER OF ALL DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST THE POLICE. Our taxes are not freebies. Our taxes are our rights. ?Jacob Boaz

I am sorry I have not sent out a news letter in a long time. To be honest I have just been so busy I have not had time to sit down and write a news letter. I have tried several times but I am so tired I can’t think. So I don’t know if this one will even make sense but then none of my others make sense so why should this one? We have been doing medical clinics in the remote villages now for almost two weeks and have seen 15 villages and I really can’t even tell you how many hundreds of people. The first team was from Westmoreland Baptist Church from Charlotte.

They all had great attitudes and were willing to serve. Some villages we could not even take the bus and could only go by 4×4 truck. Some had no bridges and we had to just cross the river anyway. But they loved every minute of it. Fortunately I have a nurse from Boston here (Nicole) who is a great nurse and also my Guatemalan nurse Marleni. With out these two these past several weeks I don’t think I could have done it.

A helicopter crashed in the field next to our house and 4 men were severely injured. We were all out on a clinic in the jungle but the fireman (Freddy) who works for me took care of them like a pro and got them to my clinic and kept them alive until another helicopter could land in our yard and fly them to a real hospital in Guatemala City.

Also during this time we had a well drilling rig and crew here drilling for water. Thank the Lord, they went down 300 ft and hit water. So we now finally after months and months of digging by hand and two drilling companies finally have water, Whew! Praise the Lord! In between drilling for water and seeing 300-500 patients a day we also took care of emergencies (OK, I would show you those pictures but we had some horrific trauma calls).

This little girls father and her walked 1½ hours out of the jungle to get a bus and come 40 miles to my clinic because her eye was bulging out of her head. I suspect a tumor behind the eye and drove her and her father to a special hospital in Guatemala City where she is to receive surgery. I think they will have to remove her eye to remove the tumor. 

Also it looks like we may finally have a receiving hospital and receiving Doctor in the States in the next week to get Rodrigo to the States for surgery on his arms that were burned. His mother is scared but he says he is ready to go! So keep Rodrigo in your prayers.

Also an update on Jocelyn. When the team was here Jocelyn and her mother Brenda came to meet Mark and Diane from Charlotte. They were willing to adopt her and are some of the finest people I know. (Especially since we have the same parole officer). They had a time of getting to know each other and made some tough decisions. Jocelyn and her mother both feel this would be a blessing from God if she could go live in the States with Mark and Diane and their daughters. I took Jocelyn out of the orphanage and Mark and I pooled our money together to get Brenda a room big enough for Jocelyn to stay with her in the City. She has to stay there so as not to be found by her husband.

When I took them to the room Brenda was living in I gasped. I did not even want to describe how she has had to live in the city. It is worse than any of you can imagine. I gave her enough money to get a small apartment for her and Jocelyn until we can sort out the adoption process. Mark and I will pay her rent and food until this is resolved. I will keep you all posted on what we can or cannot do for adoption. In the mean time, please keep this situation in your prayers OK?

I have a medical team coming in today from Vanderbilt University and we will head out to do more medical care for people like this. I’m not going to put on a front and tell you I am not a bit tired and worn out, I am, but I am at peace and do appreciate your prayers.

I am still working on trying to build a hospital for this area. I found a piece of land that is $30,000.00 US dollars but this is cheap for 10 acres here in this area. Just keep praying that if it is Gods will I do this He will provide and if it is not His will then pray He will give me a small sign like a Helicopter.

There is a lot more going on here than I have time to write because I have to head to Honduras to pick up my team but I just wanted to at least touch base with you all. Thanks again for everything and Gods Blessings.

God Bless,
In His Service,

Bryan & Riechelle and Kids
