What prompts this email is the situation in Kenya. There is the immediate situation and the long-term one. Regarding the immediate: Elkana Omweri Onge’sa, a Kisii sculpture, is our friend of ours. We created a webpage to display the work of his that is now in our house and is for sale.

I can assure anyone who buys one of his pieces that all the money goes to him (and Sema Academy) and this means that it will be distributed amongst his extended family in Tabaka. You can see his work as well as find information about the school (and a photo of Arthur and Lyn) at the website: http://www.semaacademy.org/.

Sema Academy is the long-term issue. If the school survives—and it is on the Kisii/Kipsigis border—then this is still one of the best investments in the country. Education is still key.
