Along with settling kids into their new secondary schools we’ve had a few additions to the C4KK family! I am so happy to introduce you to:
Emma - sister to Bonface
Bonface
Esther - sister to Ben
Ben
I am so thankful these kids knew each other before arriving at C4KK because “fitting” into the family came naturally! Emma and Bonface (the youngest in the family) seem to be settling in quite nicely and love running around and playing with all their brothers and sisters. Esther has a wonderful “you go girl” attitude as you can see from her picture. Ben is a stoic kind of kid but when enticed to smile he lights up!
Ben and Esther’s father died in 2007 and afterwards “their mother got lost and nobody knows where she is” according to an uncle. Whereas Emma and Bonface’s parents separated, their father went to jail and they were then being taken care of by a relative before moving to C4KK. These kids have bounced around, been passed around, and basically been told ‘you are a burden’, but now they have a loving home to finally call home!
Each time I see the kids acting like “normal” kids it brings a smile to my face (even through the discipline!) and I thank God He has allowed me to be a small part of this process (even through the discipline for me!).
