HOLIDAYS ARE COMING

The Holidays are coming -- and MITS needs your help!  We don't make our holiday expenses a part of the annual budget; we rely on friends who love street ministry to give something extra at this time of year so street kids in Nairobi can have a special time, like we do at home.  The MITS Team has come up with a schedule of activities for the students at Kamulu and for many of the street kids we work with in Eastleigh and the City.  So...once again we ask you to sacrifice for the kids!  Thanks in advance. Send to Made in the Streets, 409 Franklin Road, Brentwood, TN 37027.

Jesus said to the disciples, "The poor you always have with you..."  And that is true at MITS -- we always have the kids with us.  We can't send them off on holiday -it's 24/7, 365 days a year.

The Team wants to do the following

• Take each student for whom it is possible on a "home visit." That means a Team member will accompany a student to some relative's home for a couple of days. We are starting with those who are farthest away; this week a Team member has gone with Jackie Imam to Turkana, in far NorthWest Kenya.  We do that because nearer the holidays, bus fares go up considerably, sometimes doubling or tripling.  
• 
  
• Have a "Family Day" at Kamulu when any relatives of our kids can come out and spend a day with us. They see the facilities, hear our goals and receive a message about God -- and lunch!
• 
  
• Have Christmas parties for street kids from various "bases" around the city.
• 
  
• Have Christmas breakfast and New Year's lunch at Kamulu - a special meal
• 
  
• Take a trip to some sight around Nairobi -- National Game Park, Crocodile Park, City Park - whatever we can afford.  
• 
  
• Buy presents for the kids.
• 
  
• A short retreat for the Team away from Nairobi for two days (in two groups, so some are in Kamulu to be with the kids)

We hope to do all these things; we will do whatever we have funds to do.  If you can, and you want to, then please send, and then write me to tell me what you sent   charles@madeinthestreets.org

Have a blessed holiday -- starting now!!

Sue Dansby visited recently and taught our kids of street
moms how to make ice cream in a ziploc bag. We hope
all our kids will enjoy the holidays as much as these
kids enjoyed ice cream at Kamulu!
