Meeting Alice

On our last day in Kenya Ben and I got to meet Alice, one of our Compassion sponsored children. She is now eighteen years old and I have been sponsoring her for over ten years now. It was so exciting to finally meet her. She was a little shy, which is understandable, but still very happy to see us.

We met her family too, who are all just amazing. She has seven brothers and sisters! Her little sister Jessica loved blowing bubbles and she was just adorable. Alice showed us around her home and her dad's small farm.




Alice's father made Ben a bow and arrows too - Ben was beyond happy - he had been saying all trip how he wanted to buy some! All we have to do now is hope they let them through customs....






Here's just some of the family.
