Tumaini Counseling Center - Nairobi

Tumaini Counseling Center 
 
Willie, Hugo and I paid a visit to the Tumaini Counseling Center, here in Nairobi. As long as we are involved in Member Care have I heard of Tumaini in Kenya. I’ve met Dr Roger Brown at one of our Member Care Conferences and Willie has had contact with him over the years. 
 
We are invited for lunch and meet Shirley, Roger’s wife and their daughter Hannah. We had a wonderful lunch: toasted ham-and cheese sandwiches with a crunchy, fresh salad that we cannot get enough of! We had such a special time of sharing, listening to Roger and Shirley’s story, their vision for a counseling center, all the foot work done over a period of almost 10 years to have the vision crystalize into the counseling center.

 It is an amazing complex designed and planned with such care: from the professional layout, interior decorating and thought given to minute details:  – there are counseling rooms, a well-equipped library with resources available to counselees and families, a conference room with facilities available to house conferences and seminars –all nestled into a beautiful garden which is an extension of the tranquility and peace flowing from everything and everyone.  

For more information: www.tumainicounseling.net 
 
We also meet with our friend and colleague, Dr Gisela Roth, who is a psychiatrist working at Tumaini. Gisela is from Germany and we’ve had contact over the last 7 years at conferences and Member Care gatherings. It is wonderful to see where Gisela works and to be able to have more context of where she has lived and worked for the last 7 years. We hope to be able to network in the future with Dr Brown and his colleagues at Tumaini as our vision for Member Care in Southern Africa unfolds.

Attn: Director Roger Brown
I recently attended the AACC and met Heather Davediuk Gingrich who gave me your name. I am a Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy graduating from Fuller Theological Seminary. I spoke with Heather about my call to missions especially to Africa. She advised that I should contact you about a need for a therapist to the missionaries in your area. If you would have an interest in my vitae, I can provide one. I am excited about the coincidence of my feeling called by the Lord to Africa and Heather sitting with me at lunch at a conference and sharing about your counseling center. I am retired and working part-time at my church at the present time so I can provide references. Please advise if you would like to pursue this with me.

Thank you for your attention to my request!
Dr. Barbara Driskill, LMFT

    "There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne - bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive. One only feels really free when one can go in whatever direction one pleases over the plains, to get to the river at sundown and pitch one's camp, with the knowledge that one can fall asleep
    beneath other trees, with another view before one, the next night." -
     Karen Blixen - Out of Africa, Kenya
    'Of course as I am reading this, I know that you DO get your visas and the container DOES get released, but oh the internal struggle we face even though we should trust (as Hugo does) that God has His hands on all things and is constantly taking care of us.'


    From a Friend:
    :) Crazy to think that we are ALL made of blood, bone and water yet we speak in so many tongues that getting along together becomes a massive task within itself.
