Friday we ventured the streets again and this time decided to go into another suburb known as Buruburu (an estate on the eastern side of Nairobi). We came across a new base called 'Family base'. All of the team present, were really filled with pride and joy when we
were welcomed by the guys at that base, later on the
master(leader of the base) joined us and introduced us to all his friends on the base. He later told us of the various projects that he and the guys have been involved in. A few girls were also present, with babies. If you ask me, this is a base that is so well organized and has stuff like projects running in order to support and maintain themselves and the community. They are involved in tree planting, nurser
y beds were present near the base. They have registered with the local authorities as the 'Family Base', involved in tree planting and other projects like a car wash, transportation services using a hand cart. They have had other organization visit them, and encouraged them. We as MITS
reached out to them in the best was we know how, by sharing the Gospel, telling them what we are about, inviting them to join our league of soccer tournaments.
Philip and Kennedy shared on info on how to get National Identifications as a large group, Anne told her side of the ministry and the work going Eastleigh. Ben told of the farm side of the ministry and what we do at the farm, and our involvement with street youth at Eastleigh and Mathare. We later went to other new base just near that same location.

I am amazed at how well organized the people of this base are and how hard they work to provide for everyone! It's truly wonderful to see people doing whatever they can to make a better life for themselves, even if they don't have much. What a blessing to find a base like this!
