Perhaps you remember the story we told you of a little girl from the Mathare 4A slum in Nairobi, Kenya we encountered last year. Her name is Mercy, and when we first met her she was entirely unable to walk. Some years ago a caring pastor had found her in a garbage heap in the [...]

The boy was also extremely underweight for his age. We thought that with a good diet and a lot of love, Kevincito's health would improve quickly, as it had with other children who had arrived at Love & Hope in a state of malnutrition.

Walking alongside were Pastor Viterlis Opicha, overseer of Benjo’s School, a man seemingly clothed in a perpetual smile, and a few dozen elementary school children, mostly dressed in burgundy school uniforms.
