Due to the generous donation from Mike and Monette Hopton of Fair Hope, Alabama, we also sent Jackton Wasiema, who is currently living in Nairobi, Kenya, three boxes of shoes, T-shirts, and medals. Boonies first learned about Jackton from Edit Berces, a Hungarian national Ultramarathon champion who also receives and disperses shoe shipments. Jackton and several of his athlete friends were dislocated by the civil unrest in Kenya last year. At that time, Boonies helped him out by sending shoes and clothing. Due to instability in Kenya, Jackton has been competing locally the last year and a half, winning events in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. With his proceeds, he is currently assisting 20 athletes. Here are some of the goals Jackton is helping his friends meet: keep them away from drugs and vices such as thuggery (his terminology); look out for means to help them get an education; nurture, groom and tap athletic talents; make them better people in the society; and empower them with life skills.
Please see the photos of Jackton and one of the training sessions with his runners.
Here are some highlights from Jackton’s resume:

Okay, here's the story. We bought a new fry pan and needed to get rid of the old one. How? Take it to the metal recycler. Ah, but, these guys are now subject to new laws aimed at metal thiefs who try to sell their stolen copper wire etc. to scrap metal dealers. So instead of just dropping off the old fry pan the other half of jamica had to park, go to the office, prove her i/d, fill in forms, they had to fill in forms and at the end we were paid the value of the metal...5 cents. We thought this sufficiently absurd (the transaction cost to all involved much more than 5 cents) that we should post this. (To make it clear, we're not making fun of Action Metals...they in fact were very pleasant, very professional.)

UN Women, through generous support from the Government of Japan through the Japan Supplementary Budget, is currently implementing the multi-country project “Women’s Leadership, Empowerment, Access & Protection in Crisis Response (LEAP) -South Sudan Displacement and Refugee Crisis”.

Black Diamond Pool is a medium-sized hot spring in the Sapphire Group (= Biscuit Basin) of Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin. It is normally calm but does have rare geyser eruptions. This photo depicts a violent eruption ("hydrothermal explosion") in the late morning of 17 May 2009. Coincidentally, this occurred during a geology field trip focusing on hydrothermal explosions in Yellowstone. The eruption expelled dark gray to black water rich in sediments. Rocky gravel was strewn about outside the periphery the crater.
We started off Sunday by joining the Walkers at their local church.
It was a great service and the pastor jolted me out of my rhythm by speaking to be personally during communion when he slyly commented on the size of the piece of bread he was giving me.
"My you've been given a generous portion!"
Indeed.
