Our next stop while exploring Muchakos, Kenya was to this quaint little church off an old dirt rode (well, I guess they were all off of old dirt roads…)

This was another of the many churches that met in what they called a “temporary building” made of mud, rocks and sticks and baked in the Kenyan sun. They had already drawn up plans though to build a stronger and bigger church, one that would hold more people and stand through the tests of weather and time.

These wonderful people are still raising funds to be able to build a more permanent structure. If you would like to donate towards this cause, please send a check payable to Bedouins Inernational (to our temporary New York address: Attn: Jessi Lambert, 408 W 129th St Apt 9, New York, NY 10027). Please write “Bishop Matolo” in the memo and we will make sure it gets put in the right hands.

CITYPULSE is a collaborative art project that uses music, photos, videos and other creative media to capture different cities around the world – their structures, people, culture and so on. We found out about them a few months ago when they asked Stephen if they could use some of photos from the Bedouins trip to Haiti in 2008. They came out with a beautiful book in March that features photos of Haiti from different photographers. Their goal was to show the true beauty of Haiti pre-earthquake. I think they succeeded.

You can take a look a the book here and purchase a copy here. All proceeds go towards helping the survivors of the 2009 earthquake.
