More from Mathare...

I want to share a few truly moving links with you...

These links are part of what God used during the week following Jey Mbiro's testimony to propel my husband and I toward sponsoring a child from Jey's Compassion Project, KE-373.

A Father to the Fatherless http://www.bradruggles.com/2010/03/08/a-father-to-the-fatherless/


Sight for the Blind http://shaungroves.com/2010/03/sight-for-the-blind/
Compassion International sponsored child in Methare Valley slum Kenya
(This photo taken in Mathare from Shaun Grove's blog smacked me right in the face in the form of a giant banner hanging in Compassion's Mobile Experience tent. You think God was trying to get my attention? I had just read the blog the night before...)


58: The Film in Mathare http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZF10hm_u58&feature=BFa&list=PLD2531DF18BE96901

This is a series of 8 minute videos done by Kenya's Public Television. VERY insightful. I'm NEVER complaining about my school again. You will not BELIEVE what schools are like.

Hard Lessons: Physical Education http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnULdYkuUbI

Hard Lessons: Teaching in the Slums  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWNnis3GZds&feature=relmfu

Hard Lessons: Learning in Very Unforgiving Conditions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU3nZ0HimLg

I hope that these links are informative.

I hope they move you to pray.

I hope they move you to give thanks for the blessings in your life.

I hope they move you to sponsor a child from Mathare Valley.

Here is one.
