Although the Yellow House website (www.yellowhousechildrens.org) has become our main place for posting information online; informal thinking and reading and writing about issues of disability and Kenya and children and access continues. I have posted 2 recent "journal type" narratives written by Martin Nafukho, my wonderful colleague in Mumias. Martin's writing shed light onto the local issues of service provision in the disability sector. Beyond the rhetoric of large non for profit organizations, Martin's writings allow readers a glimpse into the complexities, frustrations and joys of work on the ground when resources are limited and local attitudes, fear and lack of awareness about disability set the tone for the lives of many of these children.
