Home is best!

Today I was woken up by the bouncing basketball in the court. On checking I saw Ken Wambugu, Moses Kungu and Joseph Wambua. Moses Kungu is a former student who took catering as a skill and has been going between jobs, but last year he managed to get a job in one of the best known hotels in the city. Joseph Wambua is also a former student who too has been between jobs and finding himself in the worldly ways. He was in Auto mechanic skill. MITS managed to find him an attachment in a prestigious garage on the far western part of the city, eventually he lost that job and came back to MITS for guidance. He has been on and off doing odd jobs but getting a living with helping our fore man John Wambu in construction. Then there is Ken Wambugu, pride always fills my heart when I talk about Ken. He is now a staff here at MITS, the best addition to the team if you ask me. He is a driver, helps out in dorm supervision and training the Auto-mechanic skills kids. I remember Ken used to sit down new boys when we had an intake and take them through all that was expected of them, he showed them how to wash their clothes, do dishes and cook.
Watching these three boys play on the court gave a sense of pride, the team has molded these boys with the help of God to become important people in the society, a cook, construction worker/mechanic and a mentor/leader of peers. Because at all points of our life we definitely will need these three people and their skills.
It even fills my heart seeing them come 'home', to church, where is is safe for them, where they find comfort, where there is love. And we love having them come back, talk to us, tell us their challenges in life, seek advice and most of all be example to our current students.
