Men and women dye without seeing their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. This situation gives all of us a timely opportunity to re-examine our God given values. It is to evaluate community services, our care-giving faculties and ways in which we can reinforce the vital force; how to educate one another in order to enhance the life span as much as possible to the full cycle. As a confident fighter of the pandemic, we are called to grab the wild bull by the horns by working in collaboration, as you all know, if you want to tame a wild bull, you need others to hold and tie it firmly, starting with the front legs. If we all join the fight, we will be able to overcome the common adversary that is HIV / AIDS. Together we stand a chance of winning the battle. We must fight with every calorie that we have, putting all resources together. For it is a matter of life and death. The choice is always life. Everyone infected or affected has become a member of the wounded community and because of that, we belong to one network of wounded society, a society of people that should care for each other. AIDS has set in and it is therefore in our midst, the question is, what can we do to wipe it out, so that our great grand children will live in a AIDS free society. Today humanity has been put to test, HIV/ AIDS has become a part of us, therefore as men and women, we are all called to make a bridge between people with AIDS and society. It is obvious, our visit cannot care a sick person, or even reduce his/her suffering, but during our visit, our words and actions can help to reduce the suffering. When we volunteer to touch and to wash them, we are simply telling them that we love them. These three words, put into action, can send clear signals to them that we share in their suffering. It is for each of us to do our part. Today in Kenya, there are more than 2 million people living with HIV/ AIDS, therefore simple HBC activities can help demonstrate our love for them. As the AIDS pandemic continue to take a heavy tall on the population of Kenya, the number of AIDS orphans continues to rise. Today, the majority of families especially in the rural are nursing a patient. After the death of the parents, the children are left at the mercies of their extended family, most of whom discern them at the hour of need. It is estimated that there are 3.5 million orphans in Kenya, majority being those orphaned by HIV/ AIDS parents. Such children require basic needs such as education, health care, food e.t.c. yet when we ignore and show them our back; we are simply telling them they are none of our business. At such a time, we can all volunteer our efforts to help the children achieve their dreams. We can all act as caregivers by embracing them and helping them cope during such difficult times. We should all seek to break the silence surrounding a tragedy which is being lived out daily in our family and communities. What these children needs perhaps more than anything else is hope, and it should be real hope. On the other hand, young people being the hardest here need to have a platform where they can share their experience because they are better informed, about HIV and because they are the most vulnerable category, the need to be listened too. As volunteers, and as people who are affected, we can help bring some changes by controlling the issues that affect the youths head-on. Its high time, we dedicate our time into peer education and sensitization, mobilization e.t.c. Sexuality is no longer a hidden taboo, people talk about it at home, at school and in the churches assemblies. The youths should be the target of all this information. There is an enormous amount of work to be done because this struggle is about changing a whole way of thinking. It is also a battle against a mysterious and insatiable enemy. Those involved should not feel discouraged and have the impression that they are preaching in the wilderness because there is always also a boundless joy in being involved in a cause of humanity, in helping in one way or another those who are infected or affected,this is the joy of a volunteer. | 
VOLUNTEERING IN THE LAND OF THE UNKNOWN The following events characterised our 10 days volunteer work in Nyangata, West Pokot. We discovered lots of new things, most of which we hadn’t heard from the pastor. This is just a brief summary of the activities. Day 1: Visit To The Area Chief As is procedural, before talking to the residents, we had to seek consent from the local chief. We also had to sign the visitor’s book which also included signing a binding agreement. We took our breakfast and immediately embarked on our journey to the chief’s camp. We found him in a meeting so we had to give him time before introducing ourselves. After the brief introduction, we signed the agreement and visitors book which were all written in Pokot. The pastor translated for us. Before leaving, he warned us to try not to be in conflict with the locals. He promised to cooperate with us. It was about 2p.m and we had missed our lunch but we were happy to be on course. We went back and prepared our supper with some of us volunteering to cook. Day 2: Visit To The Market Place. With the day’s programme in our minds, we woke up early to prepare breakfast. It was going to be a long day since it was a market day and we were told it’s usually fully packed by 8 in the morning. Our aim was to talk to as many people as possible. Together with our translator, we walked to the market, located just a few metres from Nyangaita dispensary. As expected, we met lots of people who stared us with curious eyes. Since we had already made some few friends, we didn’t find it hard to mingle and talk with he help of our pastor who is well known and quit conversant in the local Pokot dialect. The people appreciated our visit and even asked if we had something for them. We told them we were here to make friends and learn more about their culture. We saw girls as young as 15 years almost half naked and were told that the girls usually came to the market to meet potential husbands. Market days, we were told, are special days for unmarried adults and married old men who plan to add to their list of wives. The girls are usually at their best this time, showing off themselves. Those with medium sized breast usually have the advantage. Despite living in object poverty, there was a lot of money changing hands between the buyers and sellers. Barter trade was also being practiced. The high transport costs and poor accessibility meant that the cost of goods here was high. Opposite the market stood a barbershop and more than 10 men sat outside waiting for their turn. Only one barber serves the locals and he usually operated on market days. The barber uses car battery and charges kshs.20 per hair-cut. He also charges mobile phones. Other services offered included food-vending and sale of local brews. On our way back, we passed by a pool and saw more than 50 young men bathing totally naked. They were enjoying themselves. It was already 3pm when we arrived back. We prepared supper and ate together with some few Pokot children we found waiting for us.
Day 3: Volunteering For Peace At Nyangaita Bore-Hole On this day, we visited the locals at their potentially volatile borehole. Today the river had dried up and many residents had to trek a long distance for water. We found more than 20 families, many of whom had come with their livestock. With patience slowly dying out among those who had come a long way, confrontations loomed. This was not helped by the over 100 livestock who also wanted to drink from the same bore-hole. Suddenly, a fight broke out. A young man who claimed to have been there since morning tried to block others from accessing the tap. Noticing this unfolding scenario, we intervened and calmed them down. We then volunteered to help control them and our efforts beared fruit as calm and order prevailed. After about 3 hours, most had had their fill and left. Ony a few had remained to wash their clothes. We returned back to camp, cooked our supper and retired for the night. Day 4: Building The Church Our host pastor told us stories of his first days in Pokot. He said that he came to Nyangaita through bread of life, a missionary organisation currently operating in Turkana and Maasai-land. Through the mission, he had managed to construct a single-roomed grass thatched house. Materials for the construction of Nyangaita church had also been bought. Since everything was in place and since it was also in our programme, we started the construction first by transferring the building materials (e.g. poles, ironsheets e.t.c) from the pastor’s house. We divided ourselves into two groups, with a few remaining to do some repair work on the pastor’s house which was also in poor condition. The pastor has been living in the same house with his wife and 3 children for over 11 years. Thanks to him, those who came for outreach in this area are assured of a translator, a job he is very conversant with. We laboured throughout the day skipping lunch in order to complete the construction. Since it was a simple structure, we managed to complete majority of the work, fitting the sides with iron sheet. Though simple, we hope to come back soon and put up a more permanent structure, one that can accommodate a sizable number of church-goers. The church will also act as a meeting point for visitors and the locals. Day 5: Visit To Kokamama,building a temporary shelter In the Pokot community, girls are very much looked down upon. Previous attempts by the government and concerned stakeholders to negate this have not beared fruits. It’s sad that these girls face hardships and tribulations and yet the culprits are their own parents. During our few days at Nyangaita, we were encountered by a woman who unlike others had opted to protect her children from a bunch of selfish men who kept on pestering her with dowry for the girls. Kokamana’s story is a sad one. Her husband deserted her in 2007 after she gave birth to triplets, all girls. Since girls are frowned upon in Pokot, it’s therefore a bad omen to give birth to three of them at a go. He husband left and married another woman. To make matters worse she was chased away from the homestead and had to find shelter elsewhere. The pastor offered to accommodate her and her children in his small house. Since the house was so small for the two families to share, the pastor sourced for some money to construct a small temporary shelter for Kokamana when we visited her, the house was half finished and could not shield her from rain and high daytime temperatures. We helped in finishing the small bamboo house, making sure that she and her family would enjoy a good night sleep. We also donated some few food and utensils to help her start her life afresh. We pledged to support her whenever we could. Kokamana’s story, though sad, inspired many of us and rejuvenated our zeal of continuing fighting for the rights of the girl-child in Pokot. If empowered, women like Kokamana can help educate others. Our help, though small, brought a smile back to her face. We all have a responsibility to bring change to this world. And in this, God is on our side.
Day 6: Visit To Nyangaita Primary School On our sixth day, we took off early immediately after breakfast. There was work to be done at Nyangaita primary school, so we carried our tools. On arrival, we were shocked by the state and condition of the school. Though a medium sized school, the school had only about 150 students and out of these, only 35 were girls, according to the head-teacher. We were told that many parents opted not to take their children to school because they believed school had nothing to offer. Who would take care of their livestock, they usually asked. Early marriages also contribute to the high school drop-out among girls, many being married off as early as 13, provided they’ve undergone such initiation ceremonies like circumcision. After a few presentations from the children, we got down to work. We cleaned several areas including the toilet, classrooms and around the compound. After cleaning we had a meeting with the students, grouping them according to their ages. We taught them the importance of good hygiene. It was really a day well spent. Day 7: Visit To The Area Assistant Chief Day 8: Seminar About The MDG’s We organised this day for an empowerment seminar about the MDG’s. The village elders with the help of the chief prepared for us a venue to teach the locals about this important topic. With the help of a translator, we asked them if they’ve ever heard of MDG’s. To our surprise, none had ever heard about this government developmental initiative. We taught them of the 8 MDG’s and their role in them. We emphasised MDG’s number 2 which touched on universal primary education. Many promised to cooperate to help build their and their children’s future. Day 9: Meeting With The Mid-Wives We set aside this day to pay a visit to the mid-wives, whom we were told acted both as nurses and doctors for pregnant women. With over 99.9% of births being procured by these women, we wanted to learn of the difficulties and challenges they faced. We had information that many women died in the hands of these mid-wives, so we also wanted to confirm these. Our aim was to speak to at least two of them and our first port of call was a woman they’d nicknamed Pilam. We found her busy with house hold chores. She’d attended to a pregnant woman the previous night. Her husband was away attending to a village baraza. Contrary to our expectations, Pilam welcomed us with a smile and we opted to sit outside to allow her finish what she was doing. Our pastor told her the purpose of our visit that we wanted to learn more about her work. Pilam was reciprocative, she told us she had learnt mid-wifery from her mother way back in 1999 when she was just 15. She told us of the challenges she faced especially of the still-births and high maternal death-rates. Our meeting ended after a few hours and we went back satisfied. Day 10: Skip A Meal Campaign Touched by the level of poverty in Nyangaita, we opted to donate the little food we had to the locals. On this day, we all agreed to skip breakfast, lunch and supper to help feed the hungry. We aimed at helping at least 100 residents, some of whom our pastor had helped identified. We were appalled by the level of poverty in the area. During our short stay; we had identified many who were in serious need. It was a great challenge for us, but we did the little we could. Day 11 & 12: Training Seminar We reserved these two days for training on hygiene and girl-child education, so our target group had to be parents. There were only 5 pit latrines serving the whole of Nyangaita. Many don’t know the importance of using these facilities because of ignorance and also because of lack of education on hygiene and the environment. Many prefer to relieve themselves in the bush. Also, many don’t see the importance of washing their hands after relieving themselves. This has contributed to the many cases of cholera and related diseases in the area. We taught them the benefits of washing hands always and that of keeping the environment clean. We had to practically teach them how to wash hands. On the second day, we taught the parents the value of children in society. We also taught them briefly about girl-child education and that under Kenyan law, it was illegal to have sex with a minor. Many were surprised. After the seminar, we set aside a Q and A session and were really moved by the type of questions asked. Many were about the girl-child. They argued that it was poverty that drove them to marry-off their daughters early. Others also feared being excommunicated from the community. We promised to help those willing to access information on child rights. We appreciated their cooperation and ended the meeting. Day 13:Service at New Nyangaita Door of Hope church On this Sunday, we organised a service in our newly built Nyangaita Door of Hope church, the preacher being our host pastor. Five men gave their lives to Christ that day. We prayed for them and taught them how to preach the word to others. We ended the service early and returned back to camp to prepare for our return journey. Day 14: Clean-Up We did some clean-up and also had our final prayers. It was time to say good-bye to the Nyanhaita people. For the last 2 weeks, we had been part of them. We were treated to songs and dances by the locals. We really enjoyed it and we danced to their nice songs. Day 15: Departure We boarded our track for our rough journey back to Kapenguria. It took us 3 ½ hours.

I found this beat up rock that looked like it have been run-over by a plow on numerous occasions. However, upon futher inspection it appeared to be a fragment of a piece of ground stone. *ground stone is a stone that has been subjected to grinding of any number of its surface. Usually this is a result of food (seed or nut) processing. This particular piece could have been a hand stone or a piece to a larger milling slap.

Looking down in the dirt, I found this rock which looked as if it had been pretty beat up by years of plowing. Upon further examination I notices its potential to be ground stone. Ground stone is an artifact, of stone, that has been subjected to intentional grinding. This is typicially a result of food production, and more specifically the grinding of seeds, grains or nuts. See the next photo to get a better view of the satin-smooth sheen. |  Ground Stone - possible artifact Utilizing the sunshine to show the satin-smooth sheen on the interior surface of the rock. This could have been a broken hand stone used for grinding -or- a fragment of a larger milling slab. However, there is some pecking (indentions made by hammering or smashing) along the rounded edges, which suggests the likeliness of this to be a handstone if it is indeed an artifact. |  State Capitol Building - Salem, Oregon |  Gold statue atop State Capitol building in Salem, Oregon |  Little bike, Big building I have already included another picture of the Capitol building, but I like this one showing the emphamis bike that is carrying the load for this journey |  Lunch break on the tracks This is where I ate my lunch.
