Daniel has settled back into the New Life family and is still adjusting to the transition. He continues to visit an audiologist and speech therapist every week, and we’ve already seen great improvement in his speech and response patterns. He has settled in well and it is unbelievable just how well he gets along with the rest of the children. Things that used to frustrate him – like singing time or certain aspects of playtime – are now a delight for him to be a part of.
Please consider donating to our main project where we are still working to recoop the cost of Daniel's implant itself. A host family in the States, along with the Amani Foundation, have worked to fundraise and cover outside costs, but a portion of the cost of the implant remains. This holiday season, we invite you to give to that fund and to invite family and friends to help us make progress on the cost of the implant just as Daniel is making progress in learning to hear and speak.
As Cochlear Implant surgery is not available in Kenya, we are so grateful for the many people that have come together to help a young, orphaned boy from Kenya receive the gift of hearing. We can already see how it is changing his childhood and how it will shape his future. Thank you for being a part of that team of support.
