“When I was walking Lemashon down the hill to Miss Danna to get his ears checked, I let him hold my sunglasses. He was smiling when he had them on. Last year he was so sick. It made me really happy to see him doing so well.” – Piper Hayward
“Today after we were done teaching, the kids started to feel my hair like it was gold. Then we started to walk up the hill and all the school kids came around us. We taught them how to do the wave and they taught us how to play some of their games. It was really cool to share what we have with them and have them share what they have.” – Katie Smith
“We started walking down the hill and we saw Mercy and Rose and Barnaba carrying tubs of water from the creek. We decided instead of going back that we would help them carry it to the orphanage and it made us feel good that we could help them.” - Kira Herden
(Thank God for the well! It will be an enormous time saver and life saver for this community. We have found out that this area of Kenya has the worst water in the entire country! We already knew that it was difficult to access, taking more than 45 minutes to just get it to a home and then needing to boil and filter it. Thanks to all of you who have helped contribute to this project! You are making an impact beyond description.)
“Tippy Taps are hand-washing stations that are made of empty jugs. They have soap that hangs by a string near the jug. Today we made 5 of them and we’re going to put them up at the orphanage for the kids. It was long but fun!” -Katy Boyack
