We are in

We call upon

We continue
to pray for our brothers and sisters in Somalia, who for decades have never
known peace that one day peace shall return back to the Country and its people.
The only way to guarantee our Nation’s security is help restore peace in our
neighbour’s house. We call upon the international community to work with Kenya
to help make this possible as soon as possible.
