The Childrens Home

I am publishing this post for the sole purpose of showing everyone some photos that I have missed on the previous post. All these pictures were taken at the orphanage to give you an idea of what the place looks like. This first picture is of the front of the house. As you can see, there is no yard for the children to play in, just cement and rocks. The new home, on the other hand, will contain a playground and maybe even a pool for the kids. From what I have heard, it seems like it is going to be a very special place. Note Levis trying to get into the picture. This is proof that he loves being the center of attention.
Next is a picture taken from the front door of the house, looking outward. The black tank on the right is their water source. This is common for every house to have in mombasa. Faucets are very rare and can only be found in the wealthier places.
The home can get quite dirty with 30 kids running around, so it is important that the women work very hard. They are all something else. With only one day off a month and working 24 hours a day, there is no time left for traveling, even inside their own country. I respect them all so much for what they are doing. It is great to see that someone has the heart to give their life to these children.

Lastly here is a picture of the grumpy child, Isaaq. Although this is no longer the face he makes, I am glad I got a picture of it to share with you. He is the one with the ear infection and malaria. As I said before he is doing a lot better.
Well my lunchtime is over. I better get back to work before the young ones wake up from their afternoon nap. I hope you all enjoy the new photos. Take care!
