On Tuesday we drove to a project outside of Nairobi city and it was beautiful. Such a contrast to Mathare Valley. There was plenty of space and fresh air. Again, the children danced and sang for us. At one stage they even dragged a few of us up to join in the dance (yes, me included).
The weather was lovely - it was higher up which meant cooler weather than in Nairobi. Narelle and I skipped with the girls (briefly - before we lost our breathe and then just watched them skip!). Ben took heaps of great photos and Malcolm did some interviews with the kids and some of their mothers.
We then visited one of the girl's homes, which was great fun. She lives with her grandparents, and they have lots of animals and a massive garden too. Compassion gave them a cow, and when it had a calf, they were able to sell it and buy a donkey, to help cart water and also the milk that they sell from their cow.
The grandfather was really lovely and showed us through his garden. He has grafted multiple trees, some with three or four different varieties of pears or peaches on the same tree. We had a lovely afternoon there with them, and Ben didn't want to leave!

Hey you guys! If these aren't the best shots I can't wait to see the ones you're holding back!! So glad to see you are having fun and meeting beautiful children and their families.
Be safe, and Sarah - put your feet up :)
Praying for you all.

Hope you don't mind that I posted links to this blog at www.ourcompassion.org.
These are absolutely stunning photos, and really bring this region alive for those of us who sponsor kids in Kenya. Thank you for this gift.
