2010 Holidays at MITS

Due to generosity of friends of street kids, our students are having a wonderful December. We don't send them away from MITS during the holidays, because we don't want them going back into that home situation that drove them to the streets in the first place. We do take them on a visit if they have relatives that they can visit for a day; a Team member goes with them on this visit.

One of the "perks" of December is a visit to Gikomba, the famous used and new open air market at the edge of Eastleigh in Nairobi. Charles and Darlene left some money for each student, and more was provided them out of the holiday money friends have sent. So each one had 900 shillings ($11.53) to spend. Here is a picture of Duncan Mwangi, who has gotten a quality pair of flip-flops.

Thanks to those who support MITS and help make a new life for street kids. We need this continuing support for 2011, since our budget has increased $2,700 monthly (due to having more kids live with us, our exiting student expenses increasing and a salary increase) and we plan to build a new boys' dorm and a multipurpose auditorium in 2011.

We would not turn down end of the year donations if the Lord has blessed you with an especially generous heart this year! And Happy Holidays to you all.
