Part of a later email portrays the continuing problems at a personal level that are evidently going to exercise Christians (and others) for a long time to come:

"We finally opened college on Monday although many students are still not back and some have not been able to travel from western Kenya. It was clear from the start that we could not begin teaching. Instead we created space, so that in chapel and small groups, students could share their stories and experiences. Some have been in hiding or sheltering in churches and police stations. A number had chilling tales having witnessed murder or being confronted with moral dilemmas they had not had to face before as they sought to preserve their own lives and the lives of others. Some at present simply cant talk about the past three weeks. At the moment we are using the mutual support of small groups but some may need more specialist counselling. A number still don't know where some of their relatives are.  A significant challenge for staff and students is that those who may have been portrayed as their enemies in the places they have left are their classmates in college. Working through some of the grief, anger and the sense of
injustice on all sides is not going to be easy."

Colin and Anita very much value your prayers in this difficult, and still developing, situation.
