We left Eldoret this morning, cycling with a police motorcycle leading us. The press met us about 3 km out of town, did some interviews ... and we continued on. Before leaving Eldoret, we stopped, as we have each day, at the Governors Offices. Today, they took the ceremony and the speeches right out on the street. At least 300 people gathered quickly.... listened to Lari, MCC, others talk about AIDS and Peace. Amazing images. A Video clip will be out before end of today.
We are all of us doing what we can to get images and notes out to those who are reading, watching, praying, supporting. It's a big deal. Takes so so much attention ... Leon is a wizard on making the equipment work. Adam is too. Adam is making sure we get stuff on the web and twitter. Michael is filming and editing and interviewing. Kim is the chief blogger and also photographer and becoming a tweeter. Lisa is taking notes for Michael so he can work and stay focused on what he needs to do. Byron brought his lap top which it turns out we really need. I know this is the paragraph of a lay person ... but I am amazed at the community it takes to get notes, photos, verbal and all images out. To listen, to see, to catch what may connect with those in many countries who support and engage the work of MCC, and who are committed to AIDS, Peace, Development, and mostly, to be present in the event, the visits, the conversations that are taking place.
