deborah.

I want to introduce you to Teule Kenya's newest child, Deborah. She is about 11 months old. I use the word "about" since we are unsure how old she really is. She was abandoned at small store in a nearby town. She was left there for days until a good Samaritan picked her up and took her to the local hospital. She appeared to have never been washed since there was dirt caked onto her skin. This is the first time I have met her, up until now I have seen pictures but she is always so serious looking. She is never smiling, so I was curious to meet this baby. The more time I have spent with her I can see she has experienced abuse. She is fearful of almost everything, even when the children are playing rough she will scream and try to get away. This child is 11 months, not even a year old, yet the abuse she has experienced has left a visible impact on her. She is re-learning how to be loved in a way that a child deserves. She is laughing, smiling, and even starting to make sounds. Deborah is lucky and I pray that at Teule she can have a chance to be a child. She will no longer see any abuse or experience hurt.

Back!

I cannot believe I am back in Kenya. Landing in Nairobi last night was such an amazing feeling. I was so excited to be off the plane but also be back in the place that I love. Today was spent shopping and getting things ready for LTK. I leave tomorrow morning for Teule and I am so excited to see everyone. The kids do not know I will be arriving tomorrow! So much is happening with Teule right now and I am amazed at God's continued blessings over this organization. Jon Juu (founder of Teule) is in LTK right now looking over the greenhouses which will supply the children with vegetables and fruit! A donor from the USA gave money to buy another cow for Teule!! I am so excited about this opportunity for Teule and I feel blessed to be a part of it. I will update this blog for the next three weeks that I am in Kenya. As always, feel free to email me or comment below with questions about Teule! Thank you all, for continued love and support for Teule.
