Greetings,
I am forwarding you this information about a unique community clinic
in rural Kenya born out of vision and hope.
The Lwala Community Clinic is in its third year of operation.
Currently the Clinic is looking at many different ways to support its
operation including through foundations and private donations,
focusing in the areas of health, education and microfinance.
On a personal note, being in Kenya, I can only share with you concerns
about food prices, and or shortages, which will face this country in
the coming months. As a dispute resolution professional, I am very
concerned that food insecurity may roll back any gains from the
current stability, and exacerbate outstanding issues of IDPS. Not to
mention, insecurity will make it harder to for grassroot efforts such
as this, to continue accessing support. Already many SMEs have found
it difficult to make ends meet.
I am hoping with your networks, expert knowledge and social justice
concernsyou might have ideas and ways to support the working of this
clinic. I have also drawn on any connection to Kenya as well as
college.
Some immediate ways to help
* Read more about the clinic at
http://www.lwalacommunityalliance.org/index.php.
* Help set up screenings of the film, Sons of Lwala, to share with
others an example of leadership, vision, and giving back.
* Learn more about the many projects of Lwala. See if there is a
match between your interests and expertise and the work of the clinic.
For any ideas for activities or screenings of the film, Sons of Lwala,
please write back.
Kwaheri,
