The name itself as it is captivating and depicts excitement for the family. The first Family Ties Camp Kenya did not fall short of this last April 25, 2010 at Arboretum Garden, Nairobi. It was full of fun and excitement for the families that attended. Right from the beginning, when the energetic and enthusiastic KFC volunteers and missionaries set up the venue, to when to when our uncles and unties begun arriving and filling the environment with cheer and laughter. 

The activities were nourishing to the families, and this was evident from the responses coming from them. There were two talks (We are family & Together in Every situation) aimed at building the family and this were given by our very own special Aunt Lillian Njoroge and Uncle David Makonen.

There were exciting activities too. Each family were asked to make a flag that represented what their family stood for. As a family, they had to protect this flag from the bad advocates who steals flags. The families also had a picnic together as they brought delicious lunch. Then, there was the Obstacle Race where in the parents and kids showed their youthfulness and family unity as they all participated to win. The families also had an opportunity to hold dialogues and have heart to heart discussions on matters to build their unity in the family. The families were then being presented Certificates of Participation. Lastly the camp was ended by a celebrating of the Holy Mass and all the families were blessed by Fr. Alphonse Ouma. (Evans Kagane)

Special Note from the Teamleader: The day was a great blessing and we give thanks to God for answering our prayers.  We also give thanks to the 12 families that participated, to all the KFC volunteers and to the Missionaries under the headship of Nic and Chelo Escalona.
