a touch of love!

Valentine passed just weeks ago and I always remember 2007 when a date nite was organized for all the kids and staff and the kids got to have an experience of how a date is like so that they could understand that it is not just a day when chocolates and flowers are passed on from couples but it is a day that we get to tell the people closest to us how much we appreciate them. It was truly a good day and everyone had fun that night.
Talking of love, every time Darlene and Charles are here with us, they ALWAYS tell us about friends who love us in the states and we always feel good to know we have so many people who care about us. Sometimes I feel like I want to teleport myself to every one so that I can tell them how much we appreciate the prayers, the support, the confidence in us and just being there for us.
We got a major boost from Hollye and Larry Conway in our literacy classes after we got learning and teaching materials for our classes. This will really help us especially in our new classes that we started this year like our Science, Social Studies and Swahili classes and the kids cannot wait to start using the new books and materials. We are truly thankful for everyone who made this possible for us because I know that without you, the vision that we have for these kids would not be possible. oh and by the way......jars of clay are in Kenya and we got to attend their concert this past Sunday and my feet are still hurting from all the jumping and dancing......again initiated by the Conways.
