More pictures from Christmas time!

These are pictures I didn't put on the blog at

Christmas time....... I wanted you to see more

of the Orphanage and school.......This is a picture

Stephen and his family....except the little girl in

pink...she is a student..........

This is Elder Hall, they loved this!! Of course you

know who won!!!
The kids loved this!! They had never done anything

like it! We left the bags for them. The school is

in the background!

This picture is actually about an hour after the

two pictures below....the story follows.....

I noticed this little girl standing all alone, watching the

older girls dance. I went over to her, picked her up and

took her back to where I was sitting.....

...... I held her tight and hugged her and silently

wept for all of the children in the world who are

all alone. It was very hard for about an hour.....

The girls chose dad to dance with them!!!

The older girls had made up songs and dances

just for us.
I wanted you to see this big sister who carried

her baby sister around all day...there are children

raising children.....this was hard for me to see.

Inside the school.
This is just after we arrived at the school. Dad

is talking to the kids......kinda getting them used

to us....they don't see mazungas very often.

These are some of Stephen's kids...
This little boy started running along side our truck.

He was jumping over rocks, and ditches and steps and

all kinds of obstacles, but he kept up with us!!

He finally stopped running and waved good bye to us.

That is a pile of charcoal. They cook right on it. You

can imagine the air they little ones breathe all day long.

........More children on the way to Stephens's School.
The children are always the bright spot in your day.

Even in the slums they seems happy. When they

see Mazungus (Ma-zoong-oos) white people, they

usually say ..hal-ew hal- ew, or fine, fine, fine!!!

It isn't easy being a donkey in the slums of Nairobi.

Your local furniture store!! On the way to Stephens

Orphanage.
