We are Michael and Laura. We have been volunteering at Happy Life for about 3 weeks now. Michael grew up in Kenya and spent 14 years calling Nairobi home. After we were married we decided we wanted to spend some time together in Kenya, the country Michael loves so much. We search for places to volunteer and found Happy Life Children's Home. We moved in on our 2 year wedding anniversary and have been spending our days with the beautiful children here at Happy Life. We have so enjoyed getting to know all of the children, seeing our first rescued baby (Anthony) and today, seeing our first adoption (Violet), meeting Peter and Faith, being here while Jim and Sharron came to visit from the states, and meeting some other amazing volunteers. Our favorite moments have been celebrating the older student's end of school term with a movie and pizza night, playing with bubbles with the younger kids and watching them joyfully chase them all over the property, and visiting the amazing facilities at Juja. Laura is a teacher in the U.S. and it has been such a blessing seeing the students' love of learning. We are so excited to stay here longer and see what amazing things God does while we are here.
