Christmas Party!!


17th Dec was quite amazing. We got to Mama Beth Children Program at Kijabe pretty early and did preparations for the Christmas Party. Thrilling power of the party was exceptional and the preparations from kitchen to hall decorations suggested that it was the greatest event this year. The Christmas tree and Father Christmas at least founded the Christmas mood.

Glory of the day was surprising! All the children gathered in the hall to eat delicious Christmas food prepared. The finger licking meal is truly memorable and unforgettable.

We had food bags, which contained two wheat flour bags and a 1\2 kg cooking fat each children for all 75 children in the program and all the staff working for these children. These food bags will last the families of these children for the whole Christmas season. Super powerful.  After being handed the food bags, the children prayed for David, the dear sponsor of the Mama Beth Children Program and the exceptional Christmas Party. It was a surprise to them so they were over joyed! It was amazing. So touching.

At the end, Jane Wathagana, Mama Beth’s daughter and the Program lead, created awareness about the party and who David was and eventually led them with a couple of Christmas chorals. The amount of smiles and thank you’s were uncountable. It was awesome to see each kid walk away with a bag of food for a month.

For David, the children love you so much and I may not exactly write their feelings for you but I’m sure it is intense. Thank Jane once again for such great love and devotion to serve to these children.

Thank you all for your continuous prayers and supporting Mama Beth children Program. For volunteering or special service to these children reach Ken at mamabethonline@gmail.com or Jane at jane@mamabethchildren.com.

Ken!! Merry Christmas……

Debbie Young

I know I start every blog the same, but WOW I wish I could really explain every thing about Debbie Young. It just isn't possible, but this update will give you at least something...

    Debbie’s visit to Mama Beth Children Program with her two daughters was intense and full of the serious and impacting experiences these kids had and the ways they continue to grow. Debbie walked in the village of Kijabe being greeted by kids and villagers who genuinely cared and were really excited that they were around. I am sure she remembers and feels that love.

Debbie runs a NGO, The Americas Association for the Care of Children which supports Mama Beth's Children going to school.  Of course there are more children than funds at the moment.  So if you would like to donate to help support the children please see aaccchildren.org and be part of the special family.
