Tumaini STUFF!

No smiles today . . .
A house fire last week took the lives of twin babies and displaced ten families.  You would have been proud of our children . . . each went up to their shelves and chose an outfit to donate to those children who had lost everything they owned. We included two new mattresses and a cash donation to cover the cost of replacing text books and uniforms for seven school aged children.  Devastating news for this village and a horrible reminder of the dangers of playing with fire . . .
