I am not staying with my host family but I got to visit them. I am staying at Maddison House Orphanage in Limuru. There is no electricity or running water there! I am going to the kids' school during the day and hanging out with them at night. It is challenging but God is so good. Words cannot describe Kenya. Please continue to pray,as the other volunteers I stay with are not Christian. ♥
The 3 weeks my Dad and I spent together in Kenya were incredible! We were working in an orphanage started by the organization we went through. My Dad did some painting and repairs, and I helped out at the school the kids went to. We both fell in love with the kids there, and with this beautiful country. My Dad's time ended with an incredible safari in the Maasai Mara Game Preserve.
I am now working with a girl named Shana who I met 2 years ago here. It is such a blessing to be with other believers. We are working on some projects and spending time with the kids at a different orphanage. She started an organization called Jump for Joel.Here is the website and some videos, to give you an idea of what it is like.
