The New Life Orphanage
This week, on Tuesday, Mark took the day off from the hangar and went to the Orphanage with Jenny! It is interesting to look at the noticeboards in the reception area and see photos of children who are on deaths door and HIV positive when they arrived ... and next to them to see photos just months later, looking healthy, happy and HIV negative!!!!
In spite of protesting that he didn't need an apron because he wasn't going to pick up the kids ... Mark was quickly charmed by Clint and the two were inseparable for the whole time we were there!!!
Here is Jenny with Blessed (left) and Stella (right) - Stella had recently had all her hair cut-off because of ring-worm ... but she's still a cutie!!
This is milk at the end of meal time ... half of them are still in high-chairs but this little lot feed themselves!!! - it looks orderly in the picture ... but the reality is a little different!
Here is Jenny holding Clarissa (one of the newer arrivals) with Eunice one of the full-time Kenyan staff who has been working at the New Life Home since it opened 11 years ago ... she's lovely and all the kids always want cuddles from her!!
