Tumaini la Watoto

For us here at the mcc guest house our day has been great! Thanks to the way our schedule worked out we could all enjoy a very relaxing morning and lunch at the restaurant compliments of Ron and Martha. Continuing on our mission to visit some of the mcc partners here in Kenya, today's journeys led us to Alice and her school Tumaini La Watoto children development centre.  After receiving a heart-warming welcome by the littler kids and all their smiling faces we got to hear the unique story of how the school started. Alice and her husband who is a preacher, had moved to this area to start a church for the families who worked the land of the many nearby coffee bean plantations. After seeing all children with no means of an education, Alice took it upon herself to start a school as well. With time came more students which meant expansions and new buildings and to see how far they've come is amazing. Hearing that this all started in their small church with no roof 14 years ago and now seeing the school yard complete with classrooms, dormitories, a kitchen, and a church shows just how much God has provided for them over the years. Talking to Alice, it became very evident that her faith and love for God are very important to her in the way she runs her school and influences her students. Once again it was great to see another amazing global family school and the positive effects it is having on the students and the community.  Jeremy You can see a video about Tumaini at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3w651ahyOI
