Each time we return to Nairobi after a stay in the States, we have great joy in seeing the growth of the street kids who are in our program. It is especially gratifying to see our young mothers who came from the streets and are learning to enjoy their babies and toddlers. This time our grandchildren, who pray for street kids every day and especially for these little ones, bought gifts to send with us for the kids at the Eastleigh Center. Here they are packing their gifts in our crates before we left the States.
Darlene spent time with the young mothers and gave the
gifts to the kids, who are Mna and Larry (their mom is Maria, the 15 year old), Mutua (his mom is Catherine, 17) and Brian (his mom is Millie, 16). In this pic the kids are enjoying their treasures. The other pic is Mna, who got the most wonderful little African-American baby doll. You garage sale lovers might look for a soft vinyl African-American baby doll for us, since one of our teenage girls, a new one named Florence, who hardly ever speaks up, said wistfully to Darlene, "That is beautiful. I have never had a doll." Make you wanna cry!

It was a blessing to hear your youngest pray for the children in Bible class this past Sunday.
