Chatting it forward...

We had a lot to catch up on when we returned from Eldama Ravine and we spent some time looking over the new building. Chuck and Gideon are looking to the future for these kids - by providing them with healthy food, safe shelter, quality education and the knowledge they are loved and wanted here. The Class 8 students are using the new classroom and they are so proud! I asked them if anyone else was allowed in the room and they all shouted "No, just class 8 students!" You can see the excitement in their eyes and I thank God for giving them this opportunity to shine!




The weekends are always a neat time at the Academy because the kids are relaxed and playing outside. They do have study time on Saturday mornings until around 1pm, but after that it's playtime (at least until one of the adults tells them to take a bath!). I love just watching everyone play and go about their business. It's wonderful to see the changes in the kids since our last visit. They are looking toward the future. There is still a lot to do here and time is running short for us. We already have a "to-do" list for our next visit - Mungu akupenda (God willing). Please remember this minsitry in your prayers and we can always use donations to continue with these projects and many more!
