Friends in Kenya

Going back to that Gandhi Woodbrooke stay for a moment… Ronald Watts has been in touch to tell us that Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya's first president, was an unknown student at Woodbrooke about the same time as the Gandhi visit, using the name Johnston. The log which reported his stay has been withdrawn from open access. Ronald was told by the library that this was due to over-use by Gandhi researchers! Eye is astonished to learn from Ronald that the current FWCC figure for Quakers in Kenya stands at 133,825.
