Following Brenda, Dave & Sandy's visit to the Peacemakers site in Kenya we have put together a photo review of the resource centre site. This is of course only a part of the work being done in and around the local community. Please do feel free to email questions about the work of Peacemakers in Kenya and consider getting involved physically or financially. You'd be surprised at the difference you could make!

The photo review is presented in 2 different formats, either the windows movie file which can be played below or if that gives you problems then click on the link beneath the black video frame to open the photos in an Adobe pdf file.

A very successful event!

Sunday the 18th of July was a commendation day for Peacemakers international when four young adults received commendations for their hard work and selfless commitment during a 4 to 6 month stay in Kenya, all at their own expense.
The event was well attended by family, friends and supporters of Peacemakers International.

For any one new to the Peacemakers website we would highly recommend clicking on the "About Us" link on the left of the page first. This will give you an understanding of who we are and what we do. Then feel free to explore the projects and news pages for greater information about the work we do.

Although the website is a little out of date due to extreme work loads over recent months, do not be fooled. The work of Peacemakers is very much in full swing and making a real difference to peoples lives in Kenya.

Feel free to use the Contact page to email us or phone (01920 830317) if you feel you could offer your skills, time, gifts or money to help or sponsor people in Kenya. You'll be surprised at how much a small amount of helping others can benefit your own life or business!

As you can read in Tom Beak's report, the young adults are having a very full and productive time in Kenya. They are making a very real difference in the community and finding it very rewarding!

If you click on the "Photos of events" link below you'll be able to see some of the events and get a feel of what volunteering with Peacemakers can be like.

We are very proud of what Chrissy and all of our volunteers are achieving.
God bless them.
