Interfaith pilgrimage to Kenya planned for January 2011

The Global Interfaith Partnership and the Indianapolis Interfaith Hunger Initiative (IHI) are working together to host an interfaith journey to Kenya in January 2011.  This will be an opportunity for representatives from our congregations to 

• hear people's stories 
• learn about some of the systemic issues affecting food security in Kenya
• witness the impact the IHI-funded school lunch program is having upon the children, the schools and the Chulaimbo community
• build relationships with congregations in the Chulaimbo region, and
• celebrate the ways in which hope is emerging. 

Tentative Dates: January 1-15, 2011

Group Size: 10-12 adults

Cost Estimate:  $3000 - $3500, depending upon airfare and exchange rate. 

Itinerary: In addition to several days in the Umoja Project's service area, the trip will include a visit to Eldoret to learn about the IU-Kenya Partnership's AMPATH program as well as seeing other projects with Indianapolis connections.  There will be time to see some of Kenya's beautiful wildlife as well!
