I feel encouraged daily by God's word and everyone supporting me back home. In the next couple of days I will be taking three of the children to the local hospital in LTK (Loitokitok) in order to get a referral for the hospital in Nairobi. Two out of the three have severe medical issues, so please keep them in your prayers as we travel to see how much surgery will cost along with medicine. One has spina bifida in the lumbar portion of his back (lower back) that is causing the child pain and was never treated. Another has microtia which is the closing of the cartilage around both of his ears, therefore the child cannot hear properly. The last one, has eye pain that causes her to cry and have trouble in class. These kids are smart, funny, and amazing. I love each them so much and I cannot stand the thought of them being in pain or suffering. So that is my first priority now this week.
It's wonderful to hear everything going on with your travels!! It sounds like you are definitely going to make a huge difference in these kids lives, keep up the good work!! We are praying for you and all those wonderful children :) The Santi Family
