2016 – #7 Life Goes On

June 29, 2016 by Deepa Shiva 1 Comment

This is Monday and I have not posted for 3 days, so will try to fill you in. Friday, my friend and fellow KH board member, Alison Staab, arrived from the US. We were about 5 minutes late getting to the airport, so I found her standing with her suitcases, totally unruffled. If it were […]

2016 – #6 We Bury Magdalene

June 25, 2016 by Deepa Shiva 1 Comment

I’ve shared enough of my sadness, so I will write about the customs surrounding death. Even as I cried, I loved seeing how the people step up to ensure the deceased is properly honored, celebrated and sent on her way. The morning began with viewing the body outside the mortuary. Joseph, our youngest, was nearby. […]

2016 #5 Hard Day

June 23, 2016 by Deepa Shiva Leave a Comment

I’ve just returned from a mass in Magdalene’s memory. It was the regular Wednesday evening mass, which I never attend, but of course this time I did. In the front, just below the alter, was this picture of her—so beautiful, young, vibrant—so full of promise. It was taken 2 years ago, the last time Judy […]

2016 #4 Finally Home

June 21, 2016 by Deepa Shiva 1 Comment

Wednesday, June 15 After collecting Magdalene’s sisters from school and taking them to Mji Wa Neema, I knew I had to move back here. Most of the kids will be coming home, either this weekend or before the funeral and I want to be here with them. At first I thought it would be here […]

2016 #3 – Delivering Fr. Kiriti 2016

June 19, 2016 by Deepa Shiva Leave a Comment

Today is the day Fr. Kiriti was to report to St. Paul’s outside Nakuru. We both had errands in NVA (Naivasha) so that by the time we were ready it was lunchtime. We decided to stop at a new restaurant just on the edge of town, owned by our good friend and Empower the World […]

2016 #2 Arrival Saga, Part 2

June 14, 2016 by Craig Noke Leave a Comment

2016 #2 Arrival Saga, Part 2 Here is my debarking picture, with my friend, Joanie. Back 2 days ago, my arrival day.  My heart was a bit heavy, not going to Mji Wa Neena, children’s home and my home in Naivasha for the past 10 summers.  Fr. Kiriti, believing the home was to be closed, […]

2016 #1 On My Way

June 10, 2016 by Deepa Shiva 2 Comments

I’m writing this from SFO, waiting to board.  You’d think I’d have nothing to report, but that would be wrong—alas!  I knew one of my cases was seriously overweight, in fact morbidly obese.  I’d been told initially that it would cost $25, which seemed doable—but no, it’s now $50!  ARGH!!!  Oh well, can’t do much […]
