Eldoret Caught Up in Kenyan Violence

"The Eldoret area has become a killing zone." That's the bottom line in a news article in The New York Times on the mayhem in Kenya following the disputed election last week. Unfortunately for many Hoosiers, Indiana has a strong presence in Eldoret with the Indiana University School of Medicine's partnership with Moi University.

UPDATE:
A community prayer service has been organized by the Global Interfaith Partnership, a coalition of 10 churches and synagogues that are addressing the problems of orphans resulting from HIV/AIDS in Kenya. It starts at 4 p.m. Sunday (6 January) in North United Methodist Church, 38th and Meridian streets, Indianapolis.

When the violence settles down, Hoosiers are going to be gifted with many opportunities to help Kenyans and the people of Eldoret rebuild and heal. Thanks for keeping us all aware of how connected we are to the rest of the world!
