There is chronological time and there is African Time. They are not the same. It seems the clock runs slower the closer you get to the equator.
Four Adrian Dominican Sisters arrived in Kenya in mid October expecting their home to be ready the first of November. Now they are hoping to be in it in time for Christmas. Their home is located next to the St. Clare Girls’ Centre for they will be working closing with the girls. In the background you can see the home of the Indian Sisters who operate the parish medical dispensary.
The residence is dedicated to St. Catherine of Siena, a famous Dominican Saint. Thus it is referred to as The Siena House.

In Meru, Kenya, thousands of orphans and abandoned children live in unspeakable conditions on the streets, the victims of gross poverty and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. THE FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is a nonprofit organization formed to assist The Children’s Village in improving the lives of these children.
The Children’s Village is the inspiration of Fr. Francis Limo Riwa who in 1999 began to rescue orphaned and abandoned street children. Today the Children’s Village is home, family and school to more than 750 children, living on two campuses: the St. Clare Girls’ Centre and St. Francis Boys’ Home.
FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is committed to rescuing, housing, feeding and educating these abandoned orphans. Learn how you can support this effort.
Dear Dominican Sisters of Adrian,
Here’s hoping that you will be in your new home by the time this reaches you. Many blessings to each of you and know that you are all in our prayers, each and every day. We look forward to your updates and reading the amazing stories of the young girls at The Children’s Village.
Peace.
