Kenya #2: Shining like stars!

by Daryle Lynn Cornelison, for the team

Today was our first full day at Tumaini Children’s Home for our Mission Team. We are all staying at the Baraka house and the clinic apartments about 10 minutes from the home. It has very comfortable sleeping and facilities! After a very special devotion called “Shine like the Stars” and an art project, Imani Hall had walls filled with decorated stars.

Then the Mission Team visited several projects at the home including the sewing center, computer lab, library, and vegetable garden. The computer lab benefits all the children as they are taught the skills in grade-level groups. The college e-learning program students use the computer lab also.

The new greenhouse was very impressive with organic tomato plants almost 5 feet tall. It will be the second crop and it will feed the children first and then the extras will be sold to support the home.

After lunch, the team handed out letters from the children’s sponsors. Then children wrote letters back to their sponsors with help from the mission team. It was a full day of fun getting to know the children so much better.
