FRANCIS MBUVI REPORTS ON MINISTRY -- JANUARY 22, 2008

We are still on course to start the street mothers' Eastleigh boarding program on the 1st of February. So far we have two girls with children - one is 16 from Liliput Base named Wanjiru and the other is from town and 17. Ann is still working on their documents. Tommorrow Joel and Ann visit another slum in south B where they were told there are quite a number of young mothers. Ann told me places like Mlango Kubwa Base had become a no go zone because some guys whom they don't know have asked them to bring money for them to visit. Also that Anthony and Kennedy are both Luo doesn't help. So Ann tries to go alone but I told her she had better be safe and stay away. The guys can visit other bases in Eastleigh.

At Kamulu normal learning is in progress. I have had talks with almost all the team about giving the best to the kids and so far good response.  Stephen Omondi said he was doing well in his apprenticeship at Tom's 4 Wheel Drive place, and he said that he had learned a lot at our Garage!!!! The only thing that bothered him was that most of the people he is working with are smokers, and he said it was a temptation for him. I asked him to resist it and remember all the things that we taught him. I pray he remains strong. Halima is going to PCEA (training school in hairdressing) and loving it there. Mary Wanjiku is working on getting an ID and Joel will be sending her to Eastleigh soon. Moses Kungu is also working on ID and Joel Plans that he moves out at the end of the month.
