Some Children go WITHOUT a meal for lunch!!

It has continued to be an experience that triggers sympathy within me. Today, I got the opportunity to spend most of my time with the children at the Winslow education center, Gachie. After playing together, sharing good songs with the children besides a class lesson on numbers, the hour for lunch meals was ripe. So I joined them as they prayed for their meals. Everybody participated. Unfortunately, not all had any meal for lunch. Some of them knew very well that nobody was to bring them any meal either.

At one time, it was never business as usual. I noticed two children sharing a seat; one eating and the other one watching hopelessly. For today, God provided for the ones who did not have through a well wisher from within.

I decided to share this pinching experience with my friends and just wish to appeal to all of you that it is my desire that all of these kids at least get a meal for lunch in future. As you can see from the photograph, one child is eating as the other hopelessly seats and ponders about what next.What can we do then? We have plans to plant crops that may see us start up a feeding program for all of these children and others in future! Pray for this center, children, parents/guardians, teachers and all that do participate in serving these children. You have a wonderful opportunity to also serve in this ministry in whichever way. Be blessed abundantly!!

A life experience in reality!

Generations will always be there to perfect history. Young will always grow older to share experience and opportunities. This of course will differ from one individual to the other. Today I am so humbled to share with you a personal experience that changed my life.

It was one morning, of June 2005 when I walked down along one of the streets of Nairobi when one little street girl of about 6 confronted me. It was so cold and still drizzling. She wore a tattered, muddy dress. A look on her face suggested want.

" Please give me five shillings..." She begged.

Before I would reply to her, she suddenly ran away leaving me astounded. It was the city council security agents she had noticed from a far....they would beat them even to death.

I tried to look around for some time if I would see her again but in vain. I went home with a very big burden in my heart about the street children. I kept at times remembering this experience but did not have much to do. I desired I would do something to change a hopeless life but unable. One and a half years down the line, God asigned me a duty in a very unusual manner that I started a community center for needy children even when I did not have much money....

From that time, I have always desired to work and humly serve the children and the community and indeed, yes I enjoy their company..
