Show day in Nairobi!

It was a big day on Tuesday. It was “show” day in Nairobi, which is like a State Fair. The kids were so excited they couldn’t sleep the night before! We took two big buses and a mini-van to take approximately 170 kids from Nice View and 34 kids from Mercy, plus all the staff. Some of the kids from Mercy have never been to Nairobi so they were especially excited. It was so awesome to watch these kids laugh and see the “big city” of Nairobi. What a blessing it was to give them this special opportunity to be like other kids who go to the show. It was neat at lunchtime to see the Nice View kids together with the Mercy kids. Hmmmm, there may be something there. Bringing the two together at the Academy? Please pray for God’s will to be done in the lives of these children.

Another “thank you God”, Dennis was able to get glasses finally. He has only one eye (the other was removed at a very young age due to disease) so it was imperative for his sight to get glasses. They only do eye exams once a month at the local hospital and then he had to wait another month to get the glasses. Doesn’t he look handsome? He was so happy to show off his new glasses and he said they are working great!

These were just a couple examples of what your support is doing. You are bringing better vision to some, first time experiences for others and letting these kids know they are worth that little extra effort on our part. Thank you for your support and prayers.
