Huruma

T.G.I.F

It's hard to believe that we're almost half way through out time here.  It's been a busy, busy time since we landed in Huruma on Wednesday.  Today was one meeting after another.  I got to sneak out every chance I could to play with the kids.  The new baby class is just too much fun and Teacher Rachel always has a huge smile on her face.

The new Baby Class has just 20 kids this year - down from 34 last year.  This class has the new uniforms that the whole school will have in 3 years as each new class joins.  5 of the kids could not afford the new ones soooooo you know what I had to do.  They will ALL them by Monday :-) 


Can you find Sally?

You can't sit down and the kids swarm you.  They love to sit on your lap and just be hugged

It's time to go home.  It's hard to believe that these little ones just take off for home on their own

Meet Baby Eunice.  She is 4 months old and up for adoption. We met her Foster Mom at a restaurant this evening.  The sadness is that she cannot be adopted by any international family unless an adoption is in the middle of the process.  She can only be adopted by a Kenyan family and it's just not cultural for Kenyan's to adopt unless it's a relative. Prior to this latest development if families were residents for 1 year they could adopt.  It was hard to let her go.
