Alicia & Tim


Tuesday’s dinner is American style! We are hosted by a young American couple who recently relocated their lives to Kenya. Pizza, ice cream and the Olympics, what fun to do such 'normal' things in such a distant land!



Alicia is a vibrant young social worker from Illinois. Her passion found her in Uganda serving with Libraries of Love - a program that provides books for children to improve literacy. On her first trip to Africa, she found herself not wanting to return home, simply longing to stay and help. Her husband, Tim, was not so convinced.

So, she returns home, life continues and God works in their lives in amazing ways. Reading "Forgotten God" both Tim and Alicia come to the conclusion that they are to return to Africa and this time to Kenya. And here they are, immersed in the Kenyan culture, working at MOHI and dedicating their lives to loving and serving the people of Mathare. Simply inspirational!
