Nagolie Nkera Children's Home

Last Thursday I went with Irene to visit Nagolie Nkera Children's Home in Maasailand. This is a project that I visited three years ago on a little Nairobi getaway with Tessa, Annie and Irene and it was so wonderful to be back! The project is run by Mama Agnes - a wonderful woman with an enormously kind heart. The project is on the small side - 26 orphans live at the Children's Home and all seem extremely happy, healthy and well cared for. Agnes doesn't want the project to get any bigger because she loves having a relationship with each of the kids there and having the opportunity to counsel them individually - especially since most of them have been through extremely traumatic situations. These 26 kids all need a mom, and Agnes certainly fits the bill! After dealing with Mary and her difficult ways on Wednesday, it was so refreshing to see a well-functioning project with a well-intentioned project director.
