Cathedral, Strobelt, Kiberege

This morning we went back to the Cathedral, where we sat in on the wedding last week. Being a Saturday morning, we were greeted warmly by students, teachers, and staff from the diocese’s Strobelt school and the Cathedral chaplain and leadership.

Strobelt, named after the original German woman volunteer who started the kindergarten in 1996, is now a pre and primary school. Many of the students also participate in Compassion for Children (started in 2016) on Saturdays.

There were many kids there for Compassion for Children and we were treated to singing, dancing, and some reciting of Bible verses.

The staff have dreams of helping more kids in the area and of Strobelt being a place which prepares students who will go on to Tumaini for secondary school.

After our tour we ate lunch, rested, packed up, and said goodbye to the Martin Luther Center. We followed the bishop’s car to Kiberege Parish, which has 6 sub-parishes.

Each member of our group was gifted a Maasai cloth. One of the evangelists serves a sub parish in an area where Maasai herd cattle.
