Since our last report, we have received fourteen abandoned children in our centre. We have managed to place nine children into orphanages in the last two months. Children with no developmental or medical issues find orphanages faster compared to those with issues. Our long term kids, Lydia, Sarah and Dinah are still with us and constantly become a challenge for us to find orphanages for them! Their rate of development has been impressive to us and to visitors who come and see them after a short period of time.
An occupational therapist we recently hired specifically to work with Lydia continues to help her learn ways to express herself and communicate using a donated ipad. Sally Test Pædiatric Centre pays half of her salary and some families’ pays the other half. Some of the money we get through our donors through Globalgiving enable us pay for such salaries.
Past donations we received has also helped us purchase items to be used by the abandoned children. Purchasing such items in bulk has made it possible for us to access them at fair prices. We now manage to purchase diapers, formula milk, baby wipes, cereals and long life milk that last us for a month. Thank you for your continued partnership that continues to enable us bring hope to our abandoned children in Kenya.
