I spent a year working in Nairobi, with Homeless Children International-kenya, the organization that Megan worked for as well. It brings tears to my eyes to see the beautiful faces of so many of the "kids" I worked with--Faith, Amos, Moses, Maureen, Kajani, and Rosa...to see the sparkle in their eyes and their evident desire to make a difference in the lives of kids that were "like them" is an incredible gift. Wow. So many thoughts, but I just want to say thank you, and please tell them that I'm SO proud of them. I still love them deeply. Hi Christine,

This is indeed the heart of what you are doing. I can't help but be smitten with Amos--could be the name but the fact he wants to help little girls makes my heart melt all over the place. Let them know there's an American/Indiana girl hugging each of them (and you) through prayer! Thank you for all the tender and hopeful information in this post, Christine.

Thank you for bringing us a piece of life in Kibera. I am inspired by the courage of these young people who are reaching out to the younger children around them. I pray that God will indeed break the destructive cycles in the lives of the youth in Kibera. We can already see evidence of it in the lives of the ZanaA workers. Thank you for sharing their lives with us in such an eloquent way. Christine,
