Hussein Ssembatya Funeral Committee
Mr. Ochieng Nyambok has Lost his Daughter
Mr. James Ochieng Nyambok and Mrs Millicent Nyambok, Kenyans resident in Stockholm, have lost their daughter, Linet Dotty Nyambok, in Kenya due to illness. Consequently, the Family has set up an “Open House” at their residence located at Odensalavägen 44, c/o Bränwall in Märsta.
The couple has called a fund raising function on Saturday August 29th 2009 at the same venue. The “Open House” runs daily from 18.00 hrs until the day of the main fund raising.
This is the second bereavement the Nyamboks are experiencing since the beginning of the year when Millicent lost her mother and had to rush home for the funeral. Kenyans, friends and well-wishers gathered at the residence to condole with the bereaved family.
A Funeral Committee has been set up by friends of the Nyamboks to help coordinate the funds drive. The couple will travel to Kenya together with their younger daughter to attend the funeral.
KSB sends deep condolences to the family of the bereaved. The loss of a child is not only shocking but extremely painful and KSB grieves with the bereaved family. We hope that the family will have the strength to go through this difficult and trying period of deep sorrow and sadness. Further information can be obtained through: 076242619 and 0737423283.
