Kenya Handbook 2012
October 27-November 11, 2012
If you have been considering a pilgrimage to Kenya, if there is a tug at your heart as you listen to the stories of so many who have made this pilgrimage before you, perhaps 2012 is the year to just do it! There will be a team leaving in late October. Will you be on the plane with them?
As you consider and pray about whether this is the place for you to be the hands and feet of Christ this year, think about some of the things the team will do while on the ground in Kenya:
- At the hospital you will make morning rounds with an attending physician or pastoral counselor. You will also sit in on a Mother-to-Child prenatal class, which is a critical step in educating HIV+ mothers to prevent virus transmission at birth.
- Another important place to visit is the Holy Family Center AIDS clinic. HFC is responsible for testing, treating and monitoring nearly 4,000 HIV+ patients. Nearly 350 HIV+ children are also under the care of HFC, many of whom have been orphaned by AIDS. You will love and encourage these dear children. Reading a story, helping them color or draw or even just listening will allow you to share God’s compassion with a very special child.
- HFC’s home visits are often the highlight of a visit to Kenya. You will be joining with HFC social workers and community health care volunteers in visiting patients and their families.
- Work and minister at the Joy Children’s Home in Ngarariga, Kenya, and be blessed by the lost who have been found.

Remember that Kenya is a third-world country and many locations and sites will shock your senses. Be physically prepared to walk long distances often through rough terrain.
