The
name of Shadolin’s mother was known as Sheilla Kemunto. She was one of the
casual workers at Ogembo tea factory. She got an access to live in the factory premises with her daughter
and later with a man who was believed to be her husband for several years.
In
the year 2017 February, the mother of Shadolin collapsed and died while on
duty!! After post mortem was done, the doctors discovered that it was a disease
known as fatal arrhythmias!!! it is during this time that the “so called “ husband to Sheilla
denied their marriage and said that Sheilla was just but a girlfriend and they
were not legally married with her!
People
suggested that maybe this man denied this intentionally in order to prevent the
body of his wife from being buried in his home.
And also they sensed that he wanted to reject Shadolin as her adopted daughter:
This is because the man was publicly announcing so!! He kept saying that he found
Sheilla with a kid (Shadolin) and they started living together as friends and
not as married couples!!
By
the fact that the deceased was homeless the body was buried in the cemetery and
this young girl Shadolin was left hanging around without any consideration to her from anyone!!
Pastor
Vincent and our church elders were among the guests who attended the funeral
and after they witnessed a total rejection to Shadolin by her “so called
father” and none was volunteering to adopt Shaldolin and it was evening time
they brought this girl to the orphanage and explained the situation. We sat
down as leaders the following morning and eventually accepted Shaolin to be
part of the orphanage kids.
Shadolin
was helpless but now she is receiving good care in the orphanage through the coordination
of Pastor Donald and Pastor Joel. Shadolin is humbled for the good care and
support he receives from pastor Donald and all the donors in connection with
the Log church USA. She is praying God to Bless and protect all
well-wishers that stand with the Kenya Log orphanage . She is talented in singing and composing new
songs. She has a passion to become an artist after school.
violence
Yvonne was raised by a single mother known
as Lillian Bosibori in place called Kiango. The mother Lillian was homeless but
initially worked with a private sector known as clay works in Nairobi. However,
when she was released from that work, she came to this place called Kiango, a
border town of the Kisii tribe and the Maasai. She was 19 years old.
In this border town of Kiango, she started
a business of selling clothes. She later gave birth to Yvonne when she was at
the age of 21 while still living in this place. She was living in a rental
house with her daughter Yvonne.
It is sad news that during post-election
violence that took place in the year 2017-2018,
Yvonne‘s dear mother was killed by the Maasai solders while on her way from the
market together will other 3 Kisii women!!. They were slaughtered mercilessly
to death!!!
The solders escaped after committing these
brutal killings! The corpse of the deceased was buried in the cemetery. Yvonne‘s
mother died at the age of 34 years while her daughter Yvonne was at the age of
13 years then.
One of the Masaai woman adopted Yvonne to
her home and Yvonne stayed there for only 1 year and in January the year 2019
this Good Samaritan passed away after suffering from high blood pressure!! She
left Yvonne and her two elderly daughters who were not married that they stayed
with in their home.
Terribly the daughters of this woman
immediately chased away Yvonne from their home after burial of their mother. We
found Yvonne desperate and homeless in January 2019. We sympathized with her
situation and decided to bring her to the orphanage.
Yvonne is greatly happy to be in the orphanage premises she remembers
a time when she was hopeless and none could consider helping her from her horrible situation at that time. She is
very much thankful for pastor Joel and pastor Donald because of having a vision of starting log orphanage here
in Kenya.
Now Yvonne has a lot of hope in this orphanage facility. Yvonne is much grateful to the Log church of USA that is being led by Pastor Donald and Vivian in supporting and encouraging the orphans where she is included. Yvonne likes teaching young kids during Sunday school lessons and she has a passion to become a teacher of the word of God.
Nancy’s mother was married as a second
wife to a man known as Kefa. She was married to her husband as a second wife
already with Nancy who was 6 years old by then. Nancy’s mother stayed in this
polygamous family for only two years and in the year 2015 she left this marriage
and went to unknown place.
There were rumors that she might have
gotten married to someone else but the information could not be substantiated!!
Two years later the family left the rental house where they were living in
Sotik town and abandoned Nancy alone in the compound. They lied to Nancy that
her mother was on the way to pick her and together with her mother they can
join the rest of the family later that day where they had gone.
Nancy was left joyfully waiting for her
mother and the other family had gone as a means of escaping from Nancy. Nancy
waited for two days and later realized it was a lie. She remained in the rental
house for two weeks but nobody came for her. She started searching for her so
called “father” but it was cumbersome to find him and the rest of the family!!
She had been already abandoned without her knowledge!!!
Some days later she was found holding a
rope with bad intentions of hanging herself in that lonely house! Wanting to
die!!
She was rescued and when we heard the
information we went there for prayers, upon our arrival we counseled Nancy and
decided to bring her in the orphanage. She is now happy to interact with other
kids in the orphanage and she is grateful to receive care and help from Pastor
Donald and the church of USA in connection with Pastor Joel.
Nancy is thanking God for
pastor Donald, the log
church USA and other friends for
the hand
of support: she says that she could have died untimely but because
of pastor Joel and pastor Donald
she is existing. Glory to God for the
help and support.
It is Nancy‘s sincere prayers God to stand
with the families of every well-wisher
in all aspect of their lives. She
likes singing and she desire to be one of the best gospel artist in the world.
Amen and Amen.
