WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Stanley and Mary Gitari are planning on attending, as is the MMH Administrator, Mrs. Dinah Chumo!  BUT we need to raise the funds to cover their travel to the US and their housing/meals in Ft. Worth!

If you can help with these expenses, please make a check out to:
Memorial Drive United Methodist Church, and mail it to:
Scott Brown
14507 Tivoli Dr.
Houston, TX 77077

Mark on your check - Friends of Maua Travel

It will be amazing to have the Gitari's and Mrs. Chumo with us to give us the freshest updates possible on MMH!

Kathie Mann, now in Maua, will be back for the meeting!

Bishop Joseph and Pauline Ntombura will be with us as well!

Rev. Grace, in Memphis for training as a chaplain, will be there!

Beth Tracey, who served as an Individual Volunteer this last fall, winter and spring will also be with us from North Carolina

Bill and Jeri Savuto are planning on joining us!

All in all, it will be an all-star team of MMH aficionados!

Our agenda will be covered in plenary sessions with the whole gathering!  It will include:

  • An update of happenings in Maua regarding security
  • Current projects and priorities at the hospital
  • Scheduling teams and how to resolve conflicts in dates
  • Status of 501(C)3 for Friends of Maua
  • Fundraising suggestions and tips
  • Alternative teams options - ways to introduce new folks to MMH
  • Second week options for teams wishing to stay in Kenya a second week
  • Organization of Friends of Maua Steering Committee for future years
  • An update on Baby Angel....now Toddler Angel

Mingled in this time, of course, will be lots of opportunities to visit with "old" friends and new friends who love Maua and how it is changing the world for the better!

Opportunities for scheduling the Gitari's, Mrs. Chumo, and Bishop Ntombura and Pauline are there for the asking!  I am coordinating their schedules, and if you would like to arrange for one of them to address your church or civic group while they are in the US, let me know!  For that matter, if you would just like to have a few days showing them your corner of the world....well, that can be arranged as well.  JUST LET ME KNOW!

Again, if you can help with the travel costs for those coming from Kenya, as well as Rev. Grace, please send your donation to MDUMC, c/o Scott Brown!

We look forward to seeing you there!  

Jim and Sue
