Huruma

Meeting & Trying to Stay Awake

Sally and I met with some of the Karura Staff along with Hellen.  The meeting was to start at 2:00 pm.  We got lost because of detours so by the time everyone came in and did a round of hugs it was 3:00 pm before we started.

The meeting lasted almost 2 hours and we  covered so many topics.  Along with continuing to upgrade the Education and transforming the lives of the children we agreed that it will involve helping both the mothers and fathers to improve their life skills.  Much was discussed on different ideas to bring basic programs to help the parents.   I certainly can't put everything that we discussed in this blog but will definitely have much to share after we return. 

One exciting thing was that Karura has plans to bring the children of Huruma to Karaura for VBS this summer.  What an exciting thing for these kids to be able to be taken up out of their environment and join in with kids from the community and learn about Jesus.

REQUEST FROM KARURA:  When school opened this January many children from the neighboring slum called Githogoro were turned away.  It's heartbreaking knowing that children are at home with no way to start their education.  KCC is asking if there is another church that would like to partner with them to start up a Nursery school starting with a Baby Class.  If any of you have friends or relatives that attend a church that has a desire to make a difference in children's lives please contact me and I would love to share this need with them.

Tomorrow is going to be fun day back at the Nursery School.  Hugs are a comin'
