Kevin called in to report on a day full of activity in Kenya. The team typically starts out at 6 am and returns to the hotel at 9 pm at night. With a schedule like that, they are especially thankful everyone is staying healthy.
Prayer requests:
- Continued good health
- Contiued team unity
- Pray ahead for the team to know how to share their experiences with others.
And now on with the story about Wednesday!
The weather has been good with highs in the high 70's to low 80's. At night when it drops to the 60's the Kenyans all put on ski jackets while the team is in light pullovers at most. Weird mental picture of ski jackets in Kenya!
On Wednesday morning the team took over (by invitation) the classes for about 3 hours at ROHI. Sarah & Danica took over the 1st & 2nd grade class of 30 kids and the rest of the team each took one grade each. Hopefully there will be pictures to post soon!
In the afternoon the team worked on the Guardian project. They were able to come alongside two families. The project involved helping the legal guardians of a ROHI student in a tangible way.
The first student is not an orphan, but he and his family are under stress. Both parents are living and there are 8 children in the family and they cannot even afford the $15/month rent.
The second student lost his father 3 years ago and his mother is left caring for 5 children and her mother-in-law. Because of the father died, they were not able to stay in their home and were evicted.
Through the giving of our FCC family and others, the team was able to help both families start businessess selling food & cool at roadside stands. They helped by providing the start up inventory and space to sell them.
Tired yet? In the evening the team enjoyed dinner with Mama & Papa Mathua, the founders of ROHI. Get some rest team....
Thank you to everyone supporting the team in prayer!
