From last year base visits has been ongoing on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Every other Friday. The team in Eastleigh always make frequent visit to the bases that surround Eastleigh region and other close slum dwelling area. They have tried to establish new bases that are a bit a of a distant from the center. The team has been dealing with cases of National Identity procurement for the guys living on the streets. Joel and Evans together with children department have been at it with getting the necessary documentation to enable older street youth to get Nation IDs.
Conflicting groups have been also visiting the street guys, making them promises that are never fulfilled. This has made it hard for us, since all the older street guys are thinking that we have been using their names and pictures to make money. The team in Eastleigh has had number of meetings and visits with the affected bases and the conflict is being resolved.
The church continues to grow in number, every Sunday. Mbuvi reports he has been meeting with the team in Eastleigh to have better ideas and plans on improving this ministry towards the streets families. A lot of medical cases is also being handled throughout the week, day and night.
The whole team is gearing up towards new intake of students that are likely to be fitting in the program. The Eastleigh team has thus far gotten five girls, from the streets. Currently they are working on their documentation and all the legalities required of us to have them in our program. Though its difficult to locate girls living on the streets, the team is determined to find them. Boys are many, but we are forced to limit the number because of our policies and requirements.
