Swine Flu!

The swine flu has hit in Kenya. We received word that several schools around the Ngata area have been closed because of it. Please be in prayer for the health of our babies. The caregivers and staff at the baby center are being extra cautious to avoid bringing it in. Please pray that the illness passes thru the Ngata area quickly and it's victims recover fully!

Isaiah has a family!

Baby Isaiah went home with his new family yesterday. We praise God for him and pray everyone adjusts well. This means we are at 31 babies!

We have THREE new babies!

Triplets were born at Tenwek hospital recently. And today they came to the baby center. We are thrilled to welcome baby Caleb, baby Lydia and baby Ben to our family! These three bring our number at the baby center to 32! That's a record high! I will post more pics when they become available!

Immanuel is walking!

Just heard from the baby center that Immanuel started walking this week! Margie Helmuth provided a picture of him "in action"! The new WGM treasurer for Kenya, Cason Wittig and his wife Colleen have also been busy taking pictures at the baby center. They gave me permission to use their pictures and I'm so excited because they are both gifted at taking photos that capture the unique personalities of the babies!

We have a new baby - Ida!

Ida came to the baby center at around 11 months. She is struggling a little bit adjusting and hasn't quite warmed up to her new surroundings yet. At her age the adjustment is harder because she is more aware that everything is different than what she is used to. Please pray that she will start to feel safe and loved very soon!

MoMo and Ben Video - June 2009

These videos of MoMo and Ben don't acurately show MoMo's true personality. He appears shy and quiet here, but he is usually quite active and outgoing!
