Today we recieved a message from our Maasai friend, Mary Namposa, who lives near Ewasa, in one of the small villages a few miles from the compound where the clinic is located. She is thrilled to learn that a team from Mountain will be returning to their area! She has asked that we please keep her country in prayer through the referedum.
The referendum on the new constitution is the first national vote in Kenya since December 2007, during which time there was great violence that broke out in the country, leaving more then 1,300 people dead. The next presidential elections in the country will take place in 2012. Kenyans are voting on whether to accept or reject a new constitution that would reduce the powers of the presidency. But the draft also has raised emotions over land rights, abortion issues and the issue of Muslim family courts. Voting will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, August 4th, 2010. Please pray for peace in the country during this time.
