There’s this orphanage, #2

When we learned about this orphanage outside of Kenya, they were hurting because world events had diverted much of the aid they normally received and the kids were hungry.

With some help, the children were able to have a bit of Christmas, including presents, new shoes. The goal is to keep the kids fed ( and I hope you’ll feel inspired to assist ) and start to build infrastructure to allow them to be more self supporting.

If you feel moved to assist, it would be greatly appreciated.

To quote the story shared by my sister:  The children haven’t really been able to celebrate Christmas until last year, when there was enough to buy Christmas presents, which were shoes, and somewhat nicer food. They’ve just been praying and being thankful on Christmas otherwise not able to have a special day or celebration.

Last year these two children were left alone, when their mother left for Nairobi looking for work because she was desperate to feed them. The child services alerted Duncan ( who runs the orphanage ) and they were taken to the orphanage. Their mother has never returned, and no one knows what happened to her. Here is a picture of two of them now.

Duncan tries very hard, along with the volunteers who are there, to bring joy into these children’s lives, no matter what the situation. Even when they don’t have that much food there they still try very hard to be joyful and loving. Duncan is doing an amazing job with schooling, and helping the children forget their traumatic past and feel like something of value with value to add in this world.

I hope this holiday season, you’ll assist in helping these kids.
