Feet of a 9yr old eaten by "Jigas" (Fleas)296 viewsWith no shoes to wear the children are likely to suffer from an attack by Jigas. These are like fleas that bury under the skin and eat it. It is a very painful thing to experience. This is what happened to Eric 9yrs and Alex 6yrs. We need to make sure that all the children in our care have shoes to wear. This will stop a lot of illness and infections.

Moffat - the day before we managed to get him off the street228 viewsMoffat is about 9yrs old. We saw him on the streets with the older boys and tried to pursued him to go to the safe house. On the streets he was very vulnerable and was open to abuse, especially sexual abuse. He was coming with us until he saw the bins of food being wheeled to the tip, where he was sheltering and he decided he would eat there first.(He didn't uderstand that we would feed him and the other kids were his friends so it was a wrench for him to leave)

Christmas in Kenya207 viewsThe kids had a special meal for Christmas. They had meat and vegetables including potatoes which are quite an expensive food. They also enjoyed cake and sodas. This may seem average to many westerners especially when you we se what goes into the trolleys at the supermarket. But as you can see from the picture, the lads were not only grateful but enjoyed it. Bless their hearts....they just melt ours!
