Below is this week’s letter from Pastor Joel. Thanks to all who sent in some support for the orphanage. You can see below how the money was used primarily to buy food. I knew that they had been without food for some days, but grateful that the church in Kisii was also able to help out.
The kids have one day a week when
they are allowed to go to the field of one of the schools for exercise, which
mainly would consist of playing soccer (football). However, they have been
without a football for some time, so I told Joel that with this money we just
sent, they should use part of it to buy one.
Footballs are not cheap there. The first time I was in Kenya we went to the market to buy one and I was surprised that one of the better footballs cost about $50 US. We were able to find what looked like a pretty good one for about half that amount. Last time I went to Kenya I brought one that cost about $5from the closeout isle at one of the stores near our home.
From Pastor Joel:
Dear Beloved Dad, Mum, Church and
