IJM Kenya Kwaherini (Farewell) Party to Lane and Jenn

The IJM office threw a great party for Lane and Jenn who were both interns finishing their year in the Kenya office. At the end of the party George got out his guitar and they all sang a praise song in Kiswahili. "Asante" means "thank you". It was a song saying thank you God. We thank God for this wonderful office and all of the hard work they are doing to fight for people who can't fight for themselves. They spend their days investigating awful crimes against women & children, researching, writing and defending those in the courts of law, and counseling and mentoring the many clients that come through their office.

As a gift to Lane and Jenn, the office gave them traditional Kenyan Maasai tribal outfits. A Maasai blanket, sword, and shield for Lane and a full dress, beaded necklace, and beaded headdress for Jenn. They looked stunning! What an honor to receive these gifts.


To the folks in the office...We will miss you all! Keep fighting the fight!
Lane and Anna
