Sponsor Visitors Arrive at Galilee!

Today we  received a couple of brief emails from our visitors in Nairobi!  These are dedicated sponsors who are visiting Nairobi, but stopping by from time to time to visit their sponsored children at Galilee, WHS and HH while in the city.

Katja wrote: "Today we have been at Galilee for the first time, but very briefly. We plan to go there again tomorrow during the break....  The secretary was informed about our visit and helped us to get our children out of class to meet us. We were three sponsors, one's husband and another woman, who brought a gift to one other girl. My children had been informed that I would be coming and they were so lovely.  One gave me a big hug, my little one was very quiet, and another was ashamed to come at first, but then she seemed to be happy also."

Ina wrote:  "Today we went to Galilee - only for a few minutes - and I have met my sponsored boy for the first time. It was very exciting for all of us. He is a very nice and educated boy! We will visit him again tomorrow in break time, so we can talk to him a bit longer!"

Here are a few photos they took of the campus today. I'm so pleased to see the vegetation taking hold and providing some greenery on campus.  We weren't sure how well things would grow in their soil. The two story building in the bottom two pictures is Waddington High School.
