Idea conceived on the 3rd of September 2003 at 1am by Eddy Orinda and further developed by Onesmus Orinda.
John Gobanga was invited into the project in the month of November 2003.
Every walker made at least 1 000 000 strides
Each day we walked an average of 40Km
All the seven walkers drunk a total of 220 Liters of water and Soda.
We spent five days and four nights
We had a total of four stops all the way.
The longest stretch was 47Km (Kisumu – Awasi)
The shortest stretch was 25Km (Salgaa – Nakuru)
The only lady in the walking team (Mercy Ogutu) had the least demand for massages and first aid.
The youngest walker was John Omondi.
The eldest walker was Wilson Lubangah.
John Gobanga walked for five days without massage or any form of first aid.
The most serious injuries were egg size blisters suffered by Wilson Lubnagah and could not go beyond Awasi.
Six walkers went all the way – 200Km.
The walks generally started at 8am each morning and ended at 8pm every night.
The best hospitality was offered by Nakuru Deliverance Church at no cost.
There were no corporate contributions. The project was entirely supported by the youth and individuals.
The project took five months to organize.
The ‘LOVE PARCELS’ were launched by the Deputy Mayor on the 15th of January 2004 at the British Council.
There was no media coverage for the event by any of the media houses.
There are a total of 70 ‘LOVE PARCELS’ in the public spread across Kisumu, Kericho, Nakuru and Nairobi.
The beneficiaries this year are three.
Gold, Silver and Bronze contributors will be acknowledged on the 11th of April 2004.
250 photos taken between Kisumu and Nakuru.
