Update from FUM Field Staff in Kaimosi
Ben and Jody Richmond
Friends Theological College Co-Principals

At West Richmond Friends Meeting on Sunday, July 6, 2008, Ben and Jody Richmond reported on the Friends Church Peace Team efforts to address the needs of IDPs in Kenya, through listening workshops, facilitating return, and providing material relief aid.

The articles in the previous post explain some of the complexities facing IDPs, particularly the crushing financial situation.

Ben and Jody have produced an excellent DVD about their ministry and the college, including footage of the ways that Friends have been responding to the post-election crisis.
