Didn’t go as planned
Today we kind of had a plan of action. We have come to know that having a plan and actually sticking to it are next to impossible here in Kenya but we are accustomed to it. However, no matter how accustomed to it we are it can still be frustrating. Today was no...
Giving up control
Figuring out if people are lying just to get kids into C4KK could be a full time job. Re-explaining what paperwork is required by the Kenyan government, not us, to someone who just wants to get rid of a child is exhausting. Hearing the request for transport because...
Happenstance?
I'm not one for coincidence, more God-incidence. I believe God can use any and all circumstances for His glory and when something comes into my line of sight that seems to be coincidental I take notice. I certainly do not "catch" every detail, but attempt to see God...
Just to say hello….
More welcome homes!
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: I am so thankful these kids knew each other before arriving at C4KK because "fitting" into the...
Settling down
Needless to say, or maybe I do need to say since I haven't really said too much about it (except a little here), the past week or so has been stressful. Not that simply living in a foreign country/culture isn't stress enough 😉 but what with getting the kids into...
2 more at school!
We dropped off 2 more boys at secondary school today.... They are attending a very good school (2nd in the district recently) and I know they will receive a good education. We, along with the principal, encouraged them to realize the importance of school and what...
Recycling at C4KK!
On packing day for the secondary students there were many items which were wrapped in plastic bags....you can see the stack of blankets on the left in the photo. Instead of those items just being thrown in the rubbish pile Scholar found a good use for them!
School run
Today we spent the day dropping off five kids at school. There were only two schools but it took all day. The girls are at Tala Girls High School and Erastus is at Kathiani Boys. Girls first but only because their school is next door to Nice View! It then was a 2...
What a day or 2 or 7!
It has been a crazy few days and will continue to be so for a couple of more days. On Friday seven of the nine new Form 1's went shopping in Tala for items such as shoes, boots, etc., the kind of stuff they needed to try on. What a thrill it was for them to actually...
