Similarly, Peters health care is looking very precarious. I have transferred some money into Kerris personal account so that she can withdraw cash to meet these immediate needs but as you can see, it is very difficult for our friends associated with Ark Quest Academy, especially the victims milies but others also, as they have exhausted their meagre resources.
Separate funeral preparations are underway for the Johnstons and Caitlin. Caitlins will be held on Thursday, followed by the Johnstons on Saturday. Eoin says both are expected to be held at the college due to 1600 to 1900 people expected to attend.

A third group will require special medical transport which Eoin says is being organised. They are expected to arrive home on Thursday which will clash with the funeral for 19-year-old Caitlin.

These donations will go to the Johnston children and will be administered by the College. This is long term support rather than immediate support. If you wish to name individual children that is fine. The mily would prefer this support rather than flowers. All food donations are being coordinated through Greerton Bible Chapel, however at present there is ample.
The first members of the Bethlehem College group involved in the tal mini-van crash in Kenya are due back in Tauranga today as funeral preparations get underway for the three people killed.
The embassy staff and House of Travel personnel have been wonderful getting things organised to evacuate the groups. It is an absolute team effort. As some leave or have to stop because of exhaustion, others are able to pick up the mantle of leadership.
The group arriving today includes students and staff who were traveling in a car behind the van that crashed on the Kenyan highway last week. The group will be met by milies in Auckland before being transported to Tauranga by coach.
Peter is a Kenyan leader associated with the school and has been in ICU. The Kenyans are having to borrow money to prepare Christopher Mmatas body for burial and to pay for more care for Peter.
They have simply run out of money. Christophers mily is destitute, not just to look after him in terms of a funeral, but also with respect to their future.
