Nairobi Kenya with Compassion International













Mathare Slums, Compassion brings hope and help



































































Tea with leadership development students, the hotel was very helpful and the girls were wonderful!
































My sponsored child, Wanja. I was able to spend the afternoon with her, it was wonderful. She's smart and pretty and has a bright future thanks to the Compassion sponsorship program.
























Home visit with the child survival program










































































































































































































































































































We visited the Compassion "Country Office" in Nairobi. This is us with the director. Every letter from the children and to the children go through the country office. They are translated and sent. It's a huge job and they do it so well! The children we met cherish letters from sponsors. They are so thankful for everything they receive. They don't take anything for granted. Sponsors make a difference!

We're back! I'm so sorry it took this long to post something, I have no excuse. But oh my what a wonderful trip we had! The people, the landscapes, the beauty of nature, the people! We have nothing but wonderful memories of our trip with Compassion International to Nairobi Kenya. The sponsored children we met were AWESOME and the volunteers who work with the kids....words cannot describe the wonderful work they do. I've added a few of our pictures and I'll be adding more in days to come. Lynette
