We were fortunate enough to visit the Children’s Home again in November 2023. This visit was extra special in that we were able to bring some family members with us. It was a joy to see our American family playing and talking to our Kenyan family. The children loved interacting. The older children were so interested in talking and listening. One can see their self confidence increasing -a tribute to the tutors who help them throughout the year. The little ones loved the donated chocolate candy we brought. Smeared all over their faces – the enjoyment was so evident!
We brought many gifts – some beautiful knitted scarves crafted by one of our original visiting members.Souvenirs from our friends in Chile. Handmade bracelets made by our local Girl Scout Group who enlisted help from the San Francisco community. Other gifts and donations were so graciously received.
Yes, we were able to bring a couple of more laptop computers. These have been so useful in helping the children learn to read. They’re using the Google Read A Long program. It’s interactive – and it corrects the children as they read aloud. Thank you Google!
Here’s some photos from our visit. As always – we’re thankful to Shelina and Ashif from Amani Mara. Without their help, we couldn’t do this!
