"The Kenya of today is almost unrecognizable to the Kenya that until recently was celebrated as one of the most stable and promising countries on the African continent. On Sunday night, local television stations showed menacing young men brandishing machetes and iron bars at road blocks along one of the country’s busiest highways. The men hurled rocks at buses, with one large bus run off the road, as police officers stood by. . . Kenyan newspapers reflected the gloom on Sunday.
'For the umpteenth time, we again ask President Kibaki and Orange Democratic Movement leader Mr. Raila Odinga to work for peace, truth and justice,' said an editorial in The Sunday Standard. 'Kenya has bled enough.'"

That hurts my heart.

Every time I hear of what's happening in Kenya I think of you and how you were there last May. I guess all this madness has curtailed UBC trips?

UBC is still sending a team, but no one else from Baylor is. Usually there are about 4 or 5 groups from Baylor going. I don't know how big the UBC trip will be though, because I know of a bunch of people who have dropped out because of the violence there.

Thank you for your answer on the word verification thing. That explains a lot! (So there IS a reason.)
Thank you.
