Passover feast and other updates

Thursday last week, Darlene and some of the older students took a class to try and familiarize with how the ceremony would be like duringt he actual event. The kids were all so excited as they learnt news songs and went through the scriptures. Friday the festivities began and we had load some to eat and a meal to share. All the MITS family was present for the occasion. We then later had roasted maize as a winding up gesture. In the festival i could help but notice how the family has grown, Irene Mbithe was there with her daughter, Amarie, Milly and Jackton brought in Kehl, the young mother from Eastleigh brought their young ones too, the bundle was couldn't get better than this. As the ceremony commenced giggles and baby talk could be noticed.

In other news, it came to our attention that one of the streets boys was knifed during a street battle and later died on the way to theater. On Friday as the team went into Eastleigh, the team at Eastleigh decided that we should follow up and ascertain that Isaac has really passed on and should check on him at the Morgue. We managed to confirm that he died in the hospital as he was in surgery. The team and his streets friends are now trying to get hold of his family.
We are also in the process of getting three girls into our program, part of the team went to do follow up on the girls. One had already been taken in by another institution. We are still awaiting for full reports of progress from the Eastleigh team about the other two.

Hi there in Nairobi.

I'm only 6 weeks old, but my Mummy loves your blog. She says it makes her smile and she has learned many new things by reading it, and that's great news for me too. If you'd like to remember what it is like to be six weeks old, please come and have a look at mine too! Lots of Love VLV xx

Moses,we had a passover meal at our church a few weeks ago complete with bitter herbs, unleven bread and all the other symboic food. I am glad the staff and students got to share the same experience.
