Yesterday George Mwenda was in the cells at Ruai police station for some hours because our neighbor's child alleged he beat him along with other students (note: this neighbor is one who has been very angry at our boys when the soccer ball has been accidentally kicked over into his yard, yelling and cursing at the boys, so there is a history). The neighbor lied to Moses and Jackton that we could discuss it. Then he did not even report to the police station after George was arrested (note: George has never caused any trouble at MITS with the teachers or other students, so this behavior is unusual). The neighbor chased John Wambu from his place telling him he was arrogant. We paid bail for George and he is with us. Today he told Jackton that he wants us to remove the goal post on the side next to his place or relocate the soccer field. I will be responding to him tomorrow. Suggestions will be appreciated.
We asked ourselves in class-- how can we bring Glory to God in this situation and maybe lead someone to salvation?
Thanks, Charles and Darlene, for teaching us to trust in God. Have a blessed day. Lots of love from here.
The skills boys moved to the new dorm and they love it there.

Note: We have had an amazing small number of incidents with boys from the streets getting angry, fighting or even having an argument with anyone outside of MITS. We are sorry for this incident and hopeful that God will make something good come out of it, for George, for the neighbor and for Moses and Jackton, leaders who handled the situation with grace. Mbuvi says they did a great job. Please pray for our neighbor's heart and life.
The photo is one that Mbuvi sent of some of our students singing to the church.
