Spent yesterday at the daycare center. My cousin Pete donated enough money to pay for food for the kids for a month! They all shouted a loud Asante Sana to him. They've had 5 new admissions so I was able to do admission exams on them, there are now 52 children under the age of 4 enrolled. 2 of the new kids are sibling girls, 3 1/2 and 1/1/2. Their mother had kept them locked alone in their hut everyday while she looked for work. When she found work it paid about $1 for hours of hard labor. The older child cared for the younger one. Being connected to the daycare will very likely save their lives. Examining them was one of those personal and professional experiences that will alter my heart forever, words can't describe it.
Caroline has done such a fantastic job there, her center is now a cornerstone of the Ngong slum. It has been an honor to have been a part of it.
Today it's a big meeting with PEPFAR staff, picture taking with the D kids. They're clinging tight.
I hope you enjoyed the video, the correct website though is nyumbani.org
More tomorrow.
