With the Kenya Red Cross and other volunteer organizations appealing for more aid to help displaced people in Kenya, Milele's Christian Mungai teamed up with Partners for Care, Glory Outreach Assembly in Kenya where they visited 11 camps in Maai Mahiu, Naivasha and Burnt Forest PCEA Church Nakuru. "I was totally heart broken and devastated," he says. "For once I felt so bad helping as I thought to myself that we would be there for a while, give food, medical assistance etc then leave and come back to America and now I'm here in my warm bed while so many faces and names I now know are still in Maai Mahiu, Naivasha, Burnt Forest PCEA Church Nakuru and they will be there for a long time. I feel so helpless that I can't resettle these people and while many are working so hard to help others are working day and night to capitulate violence. I'm so beat and worn out, I even feel bad about taking pictures like these seems like we are there for a photo opp and thats it. My heart breaks and for once im in a state of despair at least for now. God help us and save us now". A Georgia group managed to raise US$42,000 to help the affected areas and had several volunteers who provided food and medical assistance.
Other News-Wakenya Pamoja a big hit!
WAKENYA PAMOJA
The Wakenya Pamoja video and song continues to get rave reviews from Kenyans and people worldwide. The video has already received over 15,000 views within 3 weeks on YouTube and has been on the top 3 videos in the 30,000 strong Kenya Network on Facebook. The song was written and recorded by award-winning producer Robert "R-Kay" Kamanzi at his Moja Entertainment studios and the video was shot and edited by Sakata Music. It features dozens of Kenyan Artistes and pastors. We have received numerous compliments on the video (and we duely pass them on to Wakenya Pamoja) and a request for airplay from a big radio station in South Africa as well as requests for an English translation from viewers in Japan! In the video, we incorrectly named Eunice Njeri as "Wanja" (sorry Eunice) whereas Jay Njoroge (the guy who starts singing after the rap) was not named. We appeal to the Kenyan people for calm and restraint and as Zaidi ya Mziki's Lena ably puts it, "Hata kama tutazozana, haimanishi tunakosana!" (Even if we don't agree, it doesn't mean we won't get along). Download the video and the mp3 for only $5.99 and all proceeds go to Wakenya Pamoja to help victims of the post-election violence.
