Assisting the Post-Election Violence (PEV) Kenyans, Feb 2008

In December 2007, Kenya had a national election that ended in violent dispute.  Over 1,000 people were killed and 300,000 people left homeless.  These IDPs (Internally-Displaced Persons) were in dire need.  In February 2008, DePaul students and staff assisted them.  We began with prayer in Holy Cross Church; we then listened to their stories in small group.  At the end, students and staff helped assist the IDPs with material goods, such as food and clothing.
