The board of directors, on behalf of the members of Friends of Kenya, wants to express its solidarity with the people of Kenya at this time of transition and collaboration in a new government. As former Peace Corps volunteers in Kenya, we support the president, new prime minister, and members of Parliament as they work with the people of Kenya to bring economic stability, solidarity among all Kenyan people, resumption of schools, and resolution in resettling those who have lost their homes and livelihoods and are displaced.

We again express our poles to those who are still displaced and to those who have lost loved ones in the clashes following the election.

We endorse the efforts of Kenyan leaders and all Kenyan people to establish a workable government and to positively reconcile land disputes and overcome tribal differences.

We will continue to provide financial support to community projects (as we have done since 1986) in addition to our recent contribution to the International Medical Corps for their work with displaced people.
