The mood is crippled

rs. If you watch our refugees in the camp, you currently see that they are not in the best mood. They hear all the news of brutalities in the villages as in Nyeri where again violence broke out yesterday. We also have people from this village in the Rhein-Valley Hospital camp. They repeatedly tell us that they are so happy to be here and to have some security and and shelter. If you look into the faces of these displaced people you recognize their sorrow. For example Bugwua (left in picture with white hat) said, that his farm doesn't exist anymore and he doesn't know how to feed his family. He had tears in his eyes and seems to be desperate. We try to help these people and pray for them. We can only hope for a better future for all Kenyans.
