Matthew Price meets the Interns…
Posted by Andrew MacKay on 05 03 2010
Meeting CLEAR Kenya (Christian Legal Education Aid and Research)
Matthew’s trip to Kenya went well. Covering all four offices (Nairobi, Eldoret, Kisumu and Mombasa) in four days was an ambitious schedule and he was exhausted when he returned home, but it was certainly worthwhile. He was able to spend a morning with CLEAR Kenya’s country director, Joy, meet with the leadership of the Kenya Christian Lawyers’ Fraternity and also meet the staff in each of the offices. We trust that the relationships that were begun on this trip will continue and grow in the years to come as LCF UK continues to support the work of the KCLF and CLEAR Kenya. It was particularly encouraging to witness first hand the commitment of the staff to serving the poor and needy in their community. He is now in the process of working with the international committee of the LCF to discern how we best support the work in Kenya going forward.
One of the practical ways in which LCF supports CLEAR in Kenya (and UCLF in Uganda together with their sister organisation in Rwanda) is by sending interns to work alongside the local staff. Usually these interns are recent law graduates who offer around six months to work with one of the projects. Whilst in Kenya, Matthew spent 24 hours with two of the current interns. Stuart (based in Kisumu) and Helen (based in Mombasa) were a real encouragement. Matthew took the opportunity to help them think about how their internship was going and how God was at work in them during this time
Please pray for them both as they continue to serve in this way – they will both be in Kenya until around the end of June.
