New arrivals in Gyero !!!

This week has been full of new things, we have had two visiting teams here, one from Ireland doing construction work on our buildings as we try to re organise the structure of the place. It is exciting to see a brand new building nearly completed to house an Uncle and his family and 12 boys. We are working towards having all our boys living in small family units alongside an uncle and his family, for more accountability and less institutional living. The team from Mission Africa are demolishing walls of old buildings and converting them as well as putting the finishing touches to the new one.

The other team has been from Conneticut and they have been great at encouraging us as staff and doing many exciting activities with our kids. We have learned how to play baseball, have painted tee shirts, have made photo frames and have painted a huge map of Africa on the outside of our classroom wall so all of the boys can grasp where they live in relation to other parts of Africa. see below.....

It is really good to have teams come alongside us in the ministry, they bring many things for our children as well as adding so much to all our lives while they are here..so even though it is tiring it is worth it. It really helps people to see what the ministry is really about as they visit, many of these people have been supporters for years but its not until they come does it really all become alive. Some come year after year and are such a blessing.

Also this week a new arrival in the form of a baby girl born to one of our Uncles....so tiny and all wrapped up in traditional style here. The pics below show her with her big brother and father.

We Thank God for her safe arrival . Pray with us as over the next few weeks we have many visitors coming, Pray we will appreciate all of them and that God will really do an amazing work in all of their lives as a result.
