Njuguna Walks to the Lunch Room

We are celebtrating Njuguna's walking among other good things that have been going on in our programs. He takes himself to the lunch room without any support or the caretakers holding his back. Elizabeth Wambui, Njuguna's mom is overjoyed as she thought at one point that her son would never walk, but now he is happy to watch him walk himself to places. "Soon he will be an independent person" says his mom. We are thankful for this success in our Malaika kids program.
The shoshos have not been left behind in the share of joy. Their garden is doing great and they will soon be harvesting and enjoying the fruits of their labor. It is always good to see them beeming with joy and so hopeful as the things continue to work out.
We will be working on the Ngeya garden this month. This will be in preparation for the school opening so that they can continue to have some greens in their meals. Maai Mahiu has seen no good rain and so the need persists. This garden is a great resource of the so much needed nutrients by these kids. Our hope is to make it bigger so that we can supply enough and even more to make the garden self sustaining. We also need to rebuild the stand that supports the water tank as it is falling.
The trees planted during the ubuntu day continue to do good although they need more water due to the dryness. We are keeping up to keep them alive and keep the school beutiful. Lets stay connected and will update you on more good things hapenning.
