Neema house

Sunday afternoon we headed to the Neema House which was just about five miles away. It is an orphanage that takes children affected by AIDS/HIV. Neema means Grace in Swahili, and that is what the house is based on: God's Grace. Joseph and Miriam who started the orphanage welcomed us into their home, served us an amazing lunch, and shared their unconditional faith and trust in God. There are currently 42 orphaned children residing at the Neema house where they are provided clothes, food, shelter, schooling, and love. We took the donated sunglasses , books, pens, pencils, frisbies, rub-on tattoos, pixi sticks, and more to them. They were so thankful and extremely excited. We ended up spending six hours there and the entire time was so heart warming and inspiring.

  1. The little guy in the helicopter coat with his hot chocolate just stole my heart. I'm curious about the temperatures; I'm surprised by all the long sleeves, sweaters, and sweatshirts.
