Greetings from Sengera House in Kenya. All nineteen orphans wish you a very happy Sabbath. The children have been off from school for one Month now and have been busy working in the garden. As you can see from the pictures below, the vegetables are growing quite well.

We want to thank you donors. Your compassion and financial assistance, along with your prayers have brought these orphans a long way. We have also managed to paint the kitchen, cafeteria, store room and girls house. Slowly but surely, progress is being made. We have been needing to paint these buildings for over a year now, but haven’t had the funds to accomplish. Thanks to a few generous donors, we were finally able to do so.

We have also managed to properly register the orphanage. The Kenya Government requires all orphanages to be registered. We are now in compliance in the category of a church community based Organization.

Aside from the Sengera House Orphanage, we (Kenya Hands of Hope) have also been assisting other orphans and widows, including the widow Margret and her four children in Ogembo, the widow at the Maasai boarder, and some of the church families affected by the Mau evacuation. We have also been helping MATARA and his five orphans with food the best we can. (MATARA is the 92 year old man that was arrested and jailed last Month for not informing the Government that he was caring orphan’s.)

It is hard for many to comprehend the suffering that our brethren living in this 3rd world Country endure. Our Lord sure knew what he was talking about when He said: “Ye shall have the poor always with you.” The Apostle John tells us: “whoso hath this world’s good, and see his brother have need, and shutters up his bowels of compassion for him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?”

Thanks to you donors, much is being accomplished. But I want to inform you that many of our impoverished brethren continue to suffer. All of them have been rationing their food. Some are even enduring with limited bedding. Now I don’t expect those who have been giving to give more. Some of you have already gone above and beyond. But what I do hope, is that the word can be spread that we have impoverished brethren who are suffering, and crying out for help. Our plea is for others to join hands with us and help to ease their suffering, if you can.

We have also replaced the rain water tank at the orphanage.

Your brother in Christ
