Toys for Kenya!

More people helping the poor is always a good thing and we are always humbled as to how people get involved.

We are in the process of working with the Academy of Cinema and Television (A.C.T.) for a toy drive. With the extreme poverty in Kenya, toys may seem like a non-important item. But for our children in Kenya it not only lets them know they are cared for but that they are worth our efforts of getting toys to them.

The simple act of giving them a toy of their own puts a smile on their face and that is priceless.



This video gives you an idea of what the nursery students were playing with and this was the only doll for the entire class. This was taken in February 2008 on our first trip to Kenya.

On our last trip in October 2008 we took with us several dolls, trucks, Frisbees, jump ropes etc. But as many of you know, toys don't last forever. The A.C.T.'s offer of having a toy drive is wonderful and we look forward to partnering with them in this effort.
