New students

It was all joy when the bus arrived at Eastleigh center. The kids who had been living on the streets had all taken a bath, worn clean clothes and were ready to start the walk to change in their lives. The girls had been living in the center because it is risky releasing them back to the streets. If we had released them, getting them back would be a harder task. The boys were coming and going...but this never deterred their motive to come to the programs and attend to all necessities asked of them by the Eastleigh team. These necessities are acquisition of documentation such as clinic cards, birth certificates and other important documents that will help in acquiring of national IDs once they attain the age of 18years. A consent form also has to be signed by the guardians/parents. Giving them knowledge of the plans we have for their kids. A copy remains with the parents/guardians and we retain another. We also report to the children's office nearest if all efforts fail to locate the child's' parents or close relatives.
A total of 29 new students are now part of the miracle that is always on-going in Kamulu Farm. They were received warmly by other students. Some knew each other from the hay-days, some were being acquainted for the first time. Tea was shared together. For a moment classes did not go as normal because of the excitement.
Philip has arranged an orientation period that all the new guys will spend with respective team members to learn, get to know MITS and its niceties.
No longer will they be living on alley ways, car parks and garbage heaps, but each will now have a nice warm bed all to themselves and stay clean.
So eager to learn, so eager to change, so eager to know the God
