CHRISTMAS 2021 PORTRAITS IN NEW CLOTHES
Joy and abundance filled the air this Christmas season at our resource center in Kenya as Give Amore spread love through gifts, teaching and celebration of the eminent birth of our savior Jesus Christ. Our children had the time of their life, some indulging in their favorite meals and beverages, something that isn’t as common in their homes and daily routines. Topping the list of gifts this time and every other year was new clothes for all our sponsored children, a tradition so popular in the African culture, as well as extra food and toiletries.

2021 JANUARY BACK TO SCHOOL GIFTS
With the dawn of the New Year, it is back to school for all learners in Kenya and despite the raging pandemic world over, the government has carefully crafted a return to school plan to help protect the students against Covid 19 both while at home and school.
Our sponsored children are excited to resume learning after months of staying home due to the global pandemic that led to all schools closing indefinitely. Also given that Kenya has no homeschooling plan in its education system, there is no way she could have kept up with her syllabus.
Armed with books, stationery, full school uniform, and more, students are ecstatic and eager to go back to school and see their peers.

APRIL 2020
Due to Corona virus related restrictions, our usual congregation at the Give Amore center was replaced with our team transporting supplies to the homes of the beneficiaries for our April Distribution.
In addition to the food and toiletries we typically issue, this time there was an augmentation of hand washing stations, extra food and soap to supplement their provisions during these lean moments and help curb the spread of the virus in case of an outbreak in the remote rural areas.

2017 update
Grace is in the 9th grade for 2017 school year at Ekonyero Primary School.
Grace lives with her Aunt Christine who is a food peddler and a single mother of two. Christine has a daughter in high school and an extremely special needs son, Shadrack, who has severe cerebral palsy. Grace and her sister Everlyne help care for him in the evenings after school to give Christine a chance to embark on peddling her Samosas (fried dough stuffed with vegetables) in order to support the family. Grace has been in our program for many years and is a sweet, hard working, patient young lady who is so thankful for our program that has allowed her to eat and go to school consistently. She’s very excited to be joining high school in 2017.
