December is here with us and Christmas just around the corner. So calm in Maai Mahiu and no signs of Christmas anywhere. No Christmas songs, no snow, no decorations anywhere, no crazy shopping, no Christmas trees; nothing. Looks weird sometimes but again we see the great difference between Maai Mahiu and West Michigan. It is crazy cold this time in Michigan and very hot here in Maai Mahiu. There is possibly snow in Michigan but lots of wind and dust here. Where would I want to be at such a time? In the cold or in the dust, not very good choices. The good thing is that we are joyful here down from the bottom of our hearts.
We are wrapping up the year in our center here in Maai Mahiu. Looking back at the whole year, we are so thankful. To all of you the friends of CTC. What could we have done without your support. Thanks for coming out here to visit, work with us, encourage the mums, the kids and the list goes on. Thanks for giving out generously to our efforts. All the lives touched and those changed have smiles this holiday because of your kindness. I listened to prayers in our kids room today and was amazed at their joy for being in a great environment like CTC. Their joy is written all over on their faces and sincere thankfulness to those who have made it possible. Look out for more opportunities in our website.
Like we say here in Kenya, I would want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Thanks to all of you and keep us in your thoughts this holiday season.

Rafiki link
As usual things have been going so good with the schools.
We as rafiki link drivers were winding up for the term as the schools here in Kenya end their education year in November.
As we close up,the teachers are really happy with the efforts we have been putting in the program.
The teachers are also done with their trainings which was very useful to them.
Students are looking forward to next year with enthusiasm and great joy because they know there's a lot in store!

More than 100 people were screened for survical & breast cancer, more than 80 people had their teeth plucked. In regards to HIV/ AIDs testing, 56 clients were tested and a few referred to Kijabe hospital for further treatment and medication.
Currently at our VCT clinic clients are still coming for our services. Young generation is at the fore front knowing their status.
