WELCOME TO KIBERA SLUMS
The Kibera slums is home to approximately 3 million people.
The Salvation Army has three corps in the slums.
Most people live in an 8' x8' metal home.
There is not indoor plumbing and most do not have electricity.
WELCOME to KIBERA CORPS AND NURSERY SCHOOL
There are three corps in Kibera slums.
The Kibera Corps is an oasis in the midst of the slums...
an oasis where banana trees grow.
Where this teacher has given approx 30 years of service.
Where this teacher was hired to teach 15 children in a tiny space;
but the need is there and so space is "found".
Where children are being equipped with education and food.
Where they learn songs, manners, and English.
Where they are appreciative of lollipops and stickers.
Some will take their goodies home to share with another sibling.
Look at these faces...
Precious faces...
Happy faces...
Inquisitive faces...
Children who are loved...
Children who have potential...
Children who NEED to be outside playing...
Beautiful new playground
Donated by two loving adults who care about children...
Knowing the children need exercise...
...in order to grow
...and learn
...who need to be boys
...who need an outlet for energy
...who need to laugh
...who need to be daring
...and experience fun
...and new experiences
Asanta sana to our USA friends

ReplyDeleteIt is obvious how deeply they have touched your heart. They have so much love to give and so much hope. What an amazing physical analogy that The Salvation Army is the oasis where fruit is grown. God is good, He is good, His love endures forever. Thank you so much for your terrific photos and video. You are shining brightly for Jesus.
