It is the hunger season in Bungoma. This is time when the previous harvest is gone and the current crops will not be ready to harvest until at least July. It is a hard time and there are many hungry people. When we visit the farmers I see many, many children with the big, bloated stomach of malnutrition. All the children in town smile at me but many children I have seen out in the country look very sad and when I smile, wave, and say hello there is no response. Everyone is hoping and praying for a good maize and bean harvest and I hope you will too.
