Meeting the kids at Mercy Child Foundation

Haven’t gotten the internet to work yet. I think I loaded it incorrectly on the computer so we have to unload and reload. But that will have to wait until we get back from our safari (journey). We went to Mercy Child Foundation today and found out that it is only 20 kilometers from Nice View! So that changed out plans a bit because we thought it was closer to Nairobi so we’d be staying there, but being so close to home it’s only about 20 minutes to get there. We visited the children and they sang us some songs and we got to hang out for a bit. Then we handed out toothbrushes, toothpaste, pens, pencils, rulers and the best part was the footballs! Thank you to Colorado – the kids loved the balls! The children here are just like the kids in Tala the first time we met. Shy and not really sure what to make of us, but after handing out stuff I think they relaxed a bit. I had time today to interview just three girls but what a delight they are. Nancy is very helpful as my interpreter and Doris is very shy yet has a very commanding voice when she speaks. Then it was off to Nairobi to purchase some much needed items. Blankets, backpacks, towels and some school supplies were at the top of the list for today. We will be going again tomorrow for another load of items – so please remember every dollar you contribute counts and helps support these orphanages.
What a blessing God has bestowed on us yet again – to meet these beautiful children. These children who now know that others care about them and that reality may bring them to see the ultimate giver of love, Christ. Please prayerfully consider supporting this ministry on a monthly basis so that Mercy Child Foundation, Nice View Academy/Orphanage and Eldama Ravine Children’s Village may continue to feed, clothe, shelter and educate these children who are in desperate need of these necessities. God is working through these children and I know that the future of Kenya is in their hearts.
