Baby Nicko taken for adoption

Thanks be to God!!! Nicko has a new family. Nicko was abandoned on 27^th July 2010 at Roysambu round about by unknown persons and rescued by officers from Kasarani police station. He was one day old and weighed 2.2 kgs. He was admitted at HLCH on the same day. Nicko was one of the children who was very sick with rotavirus outbreak last year and recovered. Now Nicko has a dad, a mum and a 4 year old sister. What a joy! God bless Nicko and his family. His new name is Petros.

LEO is at home to be with the Lord!!! - R.I.P

Since yesterday when he passed on at around 7.30 am (Sunday morning) and even now, we cant believe that Leo is no longer with us. WE have so many unanswered questions. Our hearts are in great pain. God you knew all this and thus we agree that, "to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord" R.I.P . Leo. Even now we love you.

Emporia Kansas Meets Happy Life!

A group of 14 students, faculty and staff from Emporia State University, and residents of the city of Emporia, went to Happy Life Children's Home in mid-May. We stayed at the Home for two-three weeks; helping to feed babies, playing with the children, carrying wet laundry up the stairs to the roof, carrying the dry laundry down and making ourselves as useful as possible.



Some of the group went out to the new property at Juja to help build the chicken coop. We worked hard and did our best as left with it almost finished. Many in our group expressed their admiration and respect for the "Mothers" and other staff members who work so hard to keep the children clothed, fed, loved and cared for.




Gifts and supplies from Kansas

We were impressed with the number of Kenyans who came by regularly to volunteer at the Home. I am so glad to have had the opportunity to spend time with the staff and children at Happy Life.

Sifa and her new adoptive mum

Sifa has gone through so much health wise. She was found abandoned near a stream at Githurai 45. At one time he was admitted at the hospital for a month but we thank God that she is much better now. She now has found a loving mum; whom they have bonded very well. All things are possible in God. God bless Sifa and her mama.
