OASIS OF HOPE

Here in Norway, preparations were central in January and February. Preparation for a new Kenya tour in February and preparation for a concert. Oasis of Hope celebrates ten years this year, and we wanted to celebrate this. On Sunday February 11th we organized an anniversary concert in Østenstad church. Frøydis Grorud, Ulf Nilsen, Runi Wold-Kristiansen and Østenstad Sangeri contributed at the concert. Anne Kristi also had a look back at these ten years and put it all into perspective. We had a intermission in the concert, with coffee and cakes served, and the atmosphere was very good. We have received a lot of positive feedback after the concert. It's nice to be appeciated, and with a good profit from the concert, we are very pleased with this event.

At Mbita, they also wanted to mark the 10-year anniversary. There was a flag raising, singing of the school's own song, written by one of the teachers, and other activities.

On Monday 19 February, a group of six people got on the plane to Kenya. We had some great days full of impressions and information. Four of the visitors had never been to Kenya before, and it was clear that what they saw at the school made an impression.
