Nairobi Children's Home

This Children's Home has 79 little boys and girls from 0 to 6 years. We only got to see the babies and many were sick. This plac is fortunate in that they have nurses on staff an many of those we diagnosed were already on some kind of treatment.

These child are here for many reasons. Some are being held until the parent is well enough to come and get them. Some if not all of the rest have been abanded by the parent because the child has some abnormality that they can not afford to pay for or do not want the stigma. We saw one with CP one that one that was deaf and could not speak and one that had malformed hands. As sad as this might sound these children are here in a safe environment and not wndering the streets on there own.

From here we drove to the Market to buy the food we needed to make an Americamerican meal for our host were we are staying. We are grilling hamburgers, frying potatoes, and a veggie tray.

The work and shopping has worn me out! Most is physical but I am sure some is emotional. So many many beautiful children with little hope of adoption will bepicked up by other home like Tumaini where we are staying.


Tomrrow we are going to a local churcg where the Tumaini children go. We will come back to the church on Monday to do a clinic for the sick in the church.
Please pray for my knee to hold out and for my stamina. Mostly pray for the children. Pray that the children and staffs see Jesus in us.
