‘We need your help’: appeal for donations for Kisumu
It has been a peaceful weekend in Kenya but things are still uncertain. Most of you will know that we have a serious humanitarian crises at hand now. We have set up a blog (http://sukumakenya.blogspot.com/) with an online donation facility to raise funds for displaced people in Kisumu which has been one of the worst hit areas. As my folks have been running a charity called Ladies in Action for several years now, they are already involved in feeding displaced and clash victims and want to scale up to meet the needs. The bottom line is we need funds. So am asking something I have never asked before. PLEASE DONATE whatever you feel comfortable with. The details are on the blog as is all the background. The online facility is 100% safe and you can use your credit card or debit card. If you don’t have a paypal account you can use any other service as it will show you.
The reality of what has happened to Kenya is not sinking in to me yet. It does not really matter I guess when you are as comfortable as us. Ladies in Action have been doing this for years. I don’t think I could do what my mother does but I know I can help and I know we all can to. Thanks and do write if you have any questions…
