Beautiful Kenyan Children Singing

Beautiful Kenyan Children Singing

POSTED IN: Blog Posts, Compassion, Kenya Trip

There is something especially amazing about the beauty of children’s voices lifted in song, especially these beautiful Kenyan children we met yesterday at Compassion project KE-611.

This little girl wowed me with an impromptu performance. Her little head bob just kills me!

I had so much fun hanging with these kids at the project. I slipped back into my VBS days and had fun telling stories and playing games. How could you not have fun with such an attentive audience?

One of the highlights was teaching them how to play “Duck Duck Goose”

All of these beautiful children are currently sponsored by amazing people around the world…

…but there are still so many precious children waiting for a sponsor. Children like little Igoki:

Her birthday is coming up in just a couple of weeks. I can’t think of a better birthday present for her than to know she is sponsored.

There is someone out there for little Igoki…maybe that someone is you. Will you sponsor a child today and give children like Igoki the chance to break free from the cycle of poverty?

    You don’t know me and I don’t know if it’s too late. But if you go to Ivola P.A.G. Child Development Center, can someone send love to JOYCE IJAI (about 17)from Pam and Jonathan in Chicago???
    We wish we were there with all of you!

    these videos and pictures make me feel more homesick than i have in a while.

    i’m so glad you’re there and experiencing all this firsthand. because africa can’t be described or painted or captured. she has to felt and seen and heard and experienced.

    and then she will never leave you alone.

    and THAT makes me smile.

    This was awesome! Thanks so much for this glimpse into what Compassion is doing. It’s easy to love those kids – even from way over here in Minnesota. God bless, Brad. Have a safe trip home!

    Thanks so much Brad. My wife and I sponsored a young man who just graduated from this center. His name is Nelson. He completed a secondary program in auto repair. Did you meet him by chance?
    We sponsored him from the time he was 8 (he’s 21 now).
    It was great to see something of where he was.
