A few Yeah God’s!
Annastacia (house mom from Mercy) called today. Actually she "flashed" us - meaning she called us and hung up after the first ring. That means they want us to call them because it is cheaper to call from the US to Kenya than from Kenya to here. She told me they are...
A day at Glendale Community College
We were invited to participate in the "All Shades of Black" for the Black Student Union at the Glendale Community College campus in Arizona. They had several different cultures represented and Saved By God's Grace was there to represent the children in Kenya. We...
A glance of Nice View Academy…
This is a short video of some moments I captured while walking around the compound at Nice View Academy.
Where, oh where are the rains?
I was saddened to learn the meat from the mother sheep that died was not fit for human consumption as it died out of human view. One day we'll have the funds to provide the children with meat, but that day will have to wait. We did, however, get some food staples to...
A part of everyday life…
Today was a mixed day of emotions. I received three letters from Nice View Academy - these were from students who wrote their sponsors here in the US. Some of their questions made me laugh - "What is chiropractic?" "What is scissors?" Some made me proud - "When we...
Sheep, lamb, kid? What do they call it?
As most things in Kenya go I am still getting information about food prices...so I will wait on that posting until I get a more complete picture. Now... I never grew up on a farm so this is foreign to me. I'd look at a goat/sheep/hen as a pet and be very sad if it...
You can make a difference!

Now what?
This past weekend we sent Nice View Academy/Orphanage, Mercy Child Foundation and Eldama Ravine Children's Village funds to pay for food, school fees, back salaries and building a chicken coop (among a couple of other items). Doing so prevented us from purchasing our...
$40 = helping a child
Following is a portion of a letter from Torongo Girls High School we received via email from Eldama Ravine. It is in regards to a student, Lydia, who lives at Eldama Ravine Children's Village and is in Form 2 (10th grade) at the school. (you can click on the letter...
God is never late!
I received an email from Pauline (Gideon's wife from Tala, Kenya - Nice View Academy). They are on break from school right now and she is enjoying her down time. She did tell me that Annastacia (house mom from Mercy Child Foundation) will be going to Tala in order to...
