The Dolls Are A Hit!!

Thanks to Mary Uthe, we were able to take over 300 dolls to the children of KipKaren. Each child that received a dental cleaning from the Children's Home received one of the dolls. To see there bright shining faces as they received their dolls was an amazing experience!

We also went on hut visits today. One of our stops was to check on a woman who was very sick due to HIV/AIDS Yesterday, her 18-month old son had been trying to feed her with one of his spoons. The medical team provided her with antibotics and medical care. Today, when we stopped she was doing much better. We were able to give the little boy and his brother dolls. They were so happy. They immediately started playing with their babies--rocking them to sleep and then putting them to bed on a rock.

We have much more to tell--but thank you Mary for all of your kindness!

  3. I too feel tears of joy, not only for the people you are touching, but how you continually seek out new ways to challenge yourself in life with the unlitmate goal of helping others. It has never been for your own glorification. That is why you are so special. I'm reading your blog every day. Looking forward to your next entry. Be safe. Sue
