Greetings Brethren,

I Just wanted to drop you a quick line to inform you that the Typhoid epidemic seems to have come to an end at the orphanage after we began treating the artesian well water. The rains and unprecedented flooding in Kenya have also subsided. (We believe that the well was contaminated because of the flooding.)

I am also happy to inform you that Brian (Ibu) has completely recovered from cholera. We also pulled him out of the previous trade school where he was learning to weld because of a lack of proper care for its students. He is now working full time at a privately owned welding shop where he is learning the trade at his own expense. He is working at the shop without pay as he learns. The owner is well pleased with him. I visited the shop this past week and was quite impressed with his progress. He even performed some welding that was required on our motor bike.

We at Kenya Hands of Hope have also been able to assist both the Ogembo Widow and the Massai border Widow with food this week. As I mentioned before, most of our church widows ration they’re food. These two widows had absolutely no food to ration. Thanks to you donors we were able to assist them.

Once again, the Kenyan widows and orphans want to thank you donors for your financial help and your prayers. They really appreciate all the love you have given them. Our impoverished brethren are really suffering in this present life, and not every one cares to help them. But you donors haven helped them and eased their pain significantly.

The Scriptures have much to say about those who help those in need, and those who do not:

Psalm 41:1: “Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.”

Proverbs 21:13: “Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.”

We thank you for helping our poor brethren. Now I know you donors are not looking for any pay back or compensation for the kindness you are giving them, but you do have a reward coming at the return of our Lord and Savior, the One who says: “Behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me to give every man according to his works shall be.” Revelation 22:12.

As you are probably aware, we are trying to teach all the children trades so they can become self supportive.
