ALL QUIET ON THE EASTERN FRONT

December 9th, 2010

Twenty-two KCF boys and two uncles took a bold and courageous step in undergoing male circumcision this week, a move that was both personal for some and morale support for others.  Several of the boys were struggling with complications due to Himosis and the only way to correct it is by having circumcision.  The procedure is a main talking point in HIV/AIDS prevention talks in schools, has also help in educating the boys on the pros, and cons to the operation done under local anesthetics.

Now that schools are on holiday, we had a meeting with the boys to ascertain the number wanting to have the procedure done and an overwhelming 29 said, "They would."  This week 24 and next week four, with one boy due to a pre-existing condition that needs correcting first before undergoing the procedure had to reschedule.  It is "…all quiet on the eastern front…", as the boys have no interest in playing their favorite pass-time soccer (football), opting to watch the games on TV, clad in togas and taking painkillers is the order of the next few days.  Thanks for praying for speedy recovery with complete healing.
