Dear Veronika
Thank you so much. Please pass our thanks to Jurg and Dani. Yesterday the president of Kenya announced emergency measures for Covid -19 Restricting movements from and to Nairobi and other counties, They are worried that there are many carriers of Covid -19 and that the highest numbers are in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi and Kwale.
Good News!- I made three money transfers today
Transfer 1: I sent money to an old widow who lives in Tran Nzoia County ,she will be able to purchase food and other essentials for herself and her family.
Transfer 2: Willis is an old man he is over 80 years old , he is old and sickly he has foot problems,his wife is also sick and they require medical attention as well as the basic essentials they live in Kakamega county of Kenya, the money will help them in purchasing medicine and food.
Transfer 3 : Jane is a staff of CFG it has been a trying time, for CFG and staff because of funding issues because of the financial strains of the current economic situation, she requires to feed herself and her child and the money will be able to help her.

Dear Veronika
Hope that you and Jurg are doing okay. Yes It is a very crazy time. I do not know what to say, I pray that things will work out soonest, and that the world will go back to become better than it has ever been.
I have attached a photo of what poo kenyans are wearing as face masks. Many kenyans are also starving at this time too.
Yes, we need to get creative
Pass my regards to Jurg

Dear Veronika,
Thank you so much! you are very kind. Most of the time I never spend the money alone, there are always many people who require help , especially to buy food for their families and other essentials required for day to day life. A huge percentage of Kenyans live from hand to mouth because of the nature of life, some do business which supports them daily, and because of the lock down they are not able to move and hence cannot support their livelihoods. I wanted to write the words: “This too shall pass like after every night comes the morning”
Look forward to hearing from you soon
Love

My children and I are well.We are doing the best we can under the circumstances, Our country Kenya is on lockdown but the government cannot help the people so people will have to help themselves,Schools are closed,companies are closed, restaurant and all is closed ,only supermarkets and people are buying food to keep in the house because from Friday we will have curfew, Today is when the last planes are supposed to land and then the shutdown.
How is Switzerland ? are you also on Lockdown or shutdown
