Dear rafiki (friend in Swahili),
.
My name is Brian Ash and I graduated with a degree in economics from the University of Colorado in Boulder in CO, USA in 2013. In 2012, Mr. Nyamwange of Keumbu, Kenya, and I created ARRIVE in Kenya, where we are thrilled to be fulfilling our dreams of helping the diverse people in western Kenya. Recently I have been working very hard on our new website, and with the help of Techmark Data Systems, I am proud to present to you the new online home of ARRIVE. Welcome and thank you for visiting www.ARRIVEinKenya.com.
.
I am truly excited about many new aspects of www.ARRIVEinKenya.com. Explore the website to read why ARRIVE is different than other organizations, learn about the Keumbu Rehema Children’s home, find out how to volunteer, donate to our cause, and so much more. Don’t forget to check out the ARRIVE blog; just click Blog or browse the Recent Blog posts (on the right). If you read only two blog posts, check out My Brother Fred and Star Thrower -my favorite posts to date! Everyone is encouraged to comment on the blog! Furthermore, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Nyamwange or me with any questions or comments you may have, or just to say jambo (hi in Swahili). I will respond to every inquiry as quickly as possible.
.
We hope you are as excited as we are to create a world in which basic shelter, clean water, food, adequate health, and education should never be a child’s main concerns. ARRIVE will thrive with the help of people like yourself. We appreciate whatever help one can give, whether it be volunteering in our exceptional programs, donating money, or just telling a friend about ARRIVE. With your help, Mr. Nyamwange and I know that we will bring positive and progressive aid to the areas of East Africa where it is needed.
.
Asante (Thank you in Swahili),

Dear Friends,
My name is Robert and I live in Keumbu, Kenya. The birth of ARRIVE in Kenya is the dawn for this part of the world that hardly receives volunteers. The beauty of Lake Victoria up to stone upon stone, from the Manga Hills down to the streets there are boys and girls that urgently need attention. Though there is a higher number of orphans here than in any other part of this nation, we do not have orphanages; if any there are few, and we urgently need one. Missionaries, you are most welcome.
To everyone: our school, hospital, and many other institutions are waiting for you.
