Return to Clinic.
Today we had the chance to walk around the streets of Kibera with the pastor. The streets were filled with garbage and children with no one watching them running around. The air smells of buring garbage/rubber. We stopped first at his home which was a small maybe 10x10 foot metal shack then we went to his day care...this day care was very small and had 17 children age 1-3 sharing two matresses. Most of these children were orphaned. After the day care we stopped in his church which doubled as a school during the day time there were 45 students in a space maybe 20x15. We have to remember we have it good! Best of all the pastor chooses to live here to help others he does not have to. There are good people in the world!!!

Thank you for being there. Thank you for helping us see, smell and hear more clearly. Thank you for sharing of yourselves with people there. Thank you for ministering to those around you. Thank you for this glimpse into your world today such that we might more effectively be praying for you. Thank you for sharing this burden that we might bear it with you. I pray for God's grace for all of you.
