That is how our friend Philip of the Kiini Sustainable Initiative (KISI) ended his last email to me, and I wanted to share. If my Swahili translator served me correctly, I'm pretty sure it says, "Welcome again to Kenya!"

We are flying out next Sunday the 25th for a ten day trip; we can't wait to share their story with you! Here's what we'll be doing: Stephen and Jessi will be flying to Nyeri, Kenya to visit the folks of KISI and tell the story of their amazing work in the local Kenyan communities. The goal of KISI is to get these communities back on their feet and teach them how to stay there. They are doing this through several programs, including Micro-loans, teaching Agribusiness and farming, AIDS education and Gender empowerment education (anti gender violence).

These orphaned children are housed and educated through a school sponsored by KISI.

We'll be taking photos and capturing video of the communities they have helped and have yet to help. Then we'll bring back their stories and introduce you to the people that make them up in ways that only media can. Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support of this special project.

We are still accepting donations for this ongoing project. If you would like to contribute towards telling the story of KISI, please send your check payable to Bedouins International Attn: Jessi Lambert, 2728 Henry Hudson Pkwy, Apt 22A, Bronx, NY 10463 or you can visit our website to pay online. 100% of your donation goes towards telling these stories, and 100% is tax deductible.

To put it simply, our Story Sponsors make it possible to do what we do. You get us to places like Haiti and Kenya, and give us the resources we need to capture and bring back the stories of the inspiring people we meet.

If you are interested in sponsoring the KISI story or another upcoming story (or even if you just want to find out more about sponsoring), please email Jessi and she will get you the information you need.

Our Amazon Storefront is still in business! This has been such a great way to help raise funds for the wonderful stories we hope to tell over the next year. Check it out here and see if there is a book you might want to buy to help support the stories of others! If you'd like to donate books to our store, please mail to Bedouins International Attn: Jessi Lambert at 2728 Henry Hudson Pkwy, Apt 22A Bronx, NY 10463. Please include your name and address if you would like to be receipted.
