There hasn't been power in the compound for about two weeks now so I am using another computer to update this blog! Other than the lack of electricity, life is pretty much the same (which is great!). I have been really busy updating files and doing school visits for the kids. I went over applications for the new social worker and I think we will be interviewing them soon! Along with doing social work type of stuff, I have been trying to reorganize and structure their sponsorship material for all the kids. Right now we have roughly 80 kids in entire program (50 live here at LTK and another 30 in high school around the areas such as Nairobi) and from that 80 we have maybe like 15 sponsored! I have been sponsoring a child from Compassion International since I was a junior in high school, Compassion has children all over the world and their structure is very clear and helpful for donors. So I am trying to model this system to be like that, more information on the child and program, a clear understanding of where the money is going, and most importantly what Teule does and how to write to your child here!!! So that will be a lot of work but my goal is to have WAY more kids sponsored than just 15. Sponsorship should be more than just a $40 check each month, your supporting someone's education that otherwise would be not possible! You are helping to give them a life that is away from abuse, the streets, or an early marriage. Whether you believe in God or not, it is our job as humans to help, to assist, to love, and to protect those who are weak, poor, or in need. Helping and loving someone does not have to mean picking up and moving to that place, its giving money, or a earnest prayer, or a little time in parts of your community that need it. It looks different for each person, but love should be the core of who we are.
With that all said, if you are interested in more information about Teule and sponsoring just email me:) I would be glad to let you know! emuether@gmail.com
