We have been working hard on the guest house. Frank, Dottie, Chris, Lindy, Rich and I are getting the house ready for the guests that are coming tomorrow. The guys painted while we girls cleaned, organized, and prepared the rooms. We all worked hard until the afternoon when Rich and I had to go to Huruma in order to give Issac his glasses that I had fixed for him. While we were gone the team continued to work really hard and they got a lot accomplished.
When Rich and I arrived at Huruma we talked with Keren and she told us that there is a new baby. He is called Baby Joesph and he is only 3 months. Joseph also has an older brother called Karaoke that is in baby class. The mother has some mental problems and she is unable to take care of her children. Mama Zipporah agreed to allow the children to come and live there and to go to school. Joseph is a very good and sweet baby. I was able to hold him for awhile and he didn't fuss at all. Rich and I were happy to see that he wasn't too thin. You could tell that he had been sick but seemed to be getting better. I told Rich that if I was
still living there I would spend all my time with him. I fell in love with him instantly.
Rich had a great time with the kids at Huruma. He really enjoys going there and hanging out with the children. He played with some of the smaller boys and is looking at getting a soccer game started with the bigger boys. The kids love having Rich to play with. I think after the older boys get to know him, he will be a good role model for them.

I wanted to just take one second to maybe give a little background information concerning what Huruma Children's Home is for those of you who don't know. Huruma Children's Home is an orphanage in Ngong run by Mama Zipporah who has been caring for orphans since 1995. This is a christian based home that provides the children with food, shelter, spiritual growth, as well as education. There are about 150 children who live at the home and about 200 that attend the school. You can learn more about Huruma by going to the website which is hchngong.org.
