KCP and other happenings...

I've been a little slow in getting updates out, as I have been busier (in a good way) than expected. The internet has also been a bit sketchy. Nevertheless, here is another update.

The kids are doing quite well. Luke really enjoyed spending time with them and had a great time in Nairobi. He went back to the US on Sunday night. Luke even learned some kiswahili I didn't know, so he was really on top of his game here.
My father and I preached at Lifespring on Sunday, Pastor Bob's church. It went quite well, and we didn't get any boo's so that was good.

There are some exciting things coming up at the project. On Thursday we are having a medical camp for the kids, where they will each receive a medical check up by a nurse at LIA. We will also be providing the children with Vitamin C tablets.
Next Friday is going to be pretty amazing. The teachers and staff at the project thought it would be a good idea to get the children outside of Mathare and have them go to the Giraffe Center. So, through a couple of generous donors, the transportation and donation to the Giraffe Center have been taken care of. For many of the children it will be their first time away from Mathare. They will have the opportunity to pet and feed the giraffes, have an educational time with one of the instructors, and watch some videos on different kinds of wildlife. I feel so privileged to be here while this is happening. To be able to see the looks on the children's faces will be amazing!
Dave, Dave and Jon arrive tomorrow, and will be the final group to visit. It has been a blessing to have had all the visitors thus far, and I am sure this last group will be great as well.

I think that is it for now, sorry I don't have any good stories, the brain isn't functioning at full throttle at the moment. Hope you all are well...
