Update from Jena Nardella, BWM Executive Director
Many of you have been following the story of the community of Marsabit, in northern Kenya. It's a place that is dear to our hearts, that has been overlooked by many, but is a significant area of focus for us this year. Thanks to your donations, the doors of the Tumaini Clinic (which means "hope" in Swahili) have opened and over 660 people have been served and 85 individuals have been enrolled in the HIV program...

As you know, the economic recession has been difficult for many non-profit organizations, including our own. However, we are surprised to see a steady commitment of monthly donors, grassroots activities and generosity in the midst of tighter budgets. Those who support Blood:Water give sacrificially and not simply when there is an excess of personal resources. The donations that come in now speak volumes to us, and we thank you for keeping our work in the Tumaini Clinic, and in hundreds of other communities, alive. A simple way to get involved today is to join our Back to School campaign. $12 can do a lot for our friends in Africa. I encourage you to get others involved in understanding the tremendous privilege we have in the ability to go to school. Let's make sure our kids aren't the only ones going back to school this year.
