Seth with some of our current Lambs.
Similar to Kijabe, we all had a wonderful time in Nakuru with the kids, caregivers, a few invited guests and of course with Seth, his family and friends.
The party started with everyone having a delicious meal, prepared by both the staff members and caregivers. The food and the cake are usually the main highlight for the kids.
After the meal, a short Christmas sermon was delivered by one of the caregivers from Psalm 121 and she really gave a very nice talk. Then Seth, (a recent college graduate dressed in his graduation gown) being the 'guest of honor', was given a chance to address everyone and he did a good job of that. He gave his story of how he joined Little Lambs when he was a boy of 8 years (class three) and how Little Lambs assisted him all the way to high school. He mentioned what a discouraging situation he was in after finishing form four and passing his university entrance exam but didn't have funds to join university. God, however, demonstrated His love through friends of Little Lambs who stepped in and have assisted him the entire time he was in the University. He also had some encouraging words to the Little Lambs kids that “with God as your number one and hard work, you can realize your dreams”. He reminded them how fortunate they are to have caring people willing to mentor them in the word of God and take care of their needs.
everyone is always ready to pose for a picture
Seth's part took the better part of the afternoon, but everyone one was fine with that as he is the first university graduate from Nakuru center. Cake here is sometimes used as a symbol of celebration and is shared with everyone present so Seth did the honors of cake cutting.
Finally, we distributed the gift bags to the caregivers and, like always, they were very much appreciative. On that note, we all left for home. I'm attaching some pictures of the party and of Seth and his mom and dad. Merry Christmas to you all!
