Kitui visit

Last night we arrived in the rural town of Kitui. We stayed at a nice hotel called Talents Hotel. It was only built in 2009 and so everything is still fresh. The owner, Michael (a Christian) was extremely helpful. Our purpose for visiting Kitui was to meet Enoch & Eunice who run a children's home. Actually, a better description is that they have 2 children of their own, they have adopted 3 more and then have also taken in 8 street kids. By any standard they are extremely poor but God has given them both a generous heart to share what little they have with these children in so much need. We were able to present them each with a gift pack containing various age appropriate items such as clothing, toys, lollies, etc. We also hosted the entire family for lunch at the hotel. While some of our team joined the children for games after lunch on the soccer field behind the hotel, a few of us met with Enoch, Eunice and their pastor (Ps. Reuben) to discuss their needs and explore possible ways to assist them to be more self sufficient. I wish I could share with you the joy expressed on their faces when we said that we would pay the school fees for all the children for one year - pure joy! To finish off the day a few ladies from our team took Eunice grocery shopping. To say that our team was impacted by this family would be an understatement. Kenya Help will continue to keep in contact with Enoch & Eunice and also seek God's guidance as to other ways that we might assist them to better provide for the extended family. Please pray for Enoch & Eunice as they continue to answer God's call to nurture these children.
