DECEMBER, 2022 CHRISTMAS PARTY DISTRIBUTION
Christmas came early to our brothers and sisters in Kenya and once again everything was done to tradition just like the pre pandemic years. Every child received new clothes, shoes as well as extra food and toiletries supplies. Among other special gifts were a cow, goat and chicken for select families.
To top it all off, everyone was treated to an end year feast with distinguished Kenyan delicacies served including masala rice, chapatti, deep fried chicken, corn bread and so much more. Further the congregation was filled with joy of getting together in celebration of the end of an eventful yet successful year.
Christmas means so much to many children and adults alike across the globe and as witnessed, Santa managed once again to put a smile on every child's face courtesy of your generous thoughtful giving. It is a season of neighborliness and indeed you all set the bar so high. Happy Christmas!

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.

It is the rainy season here and unlike usual, it pounds for long hours. Unfortunately for Mercyline’s family, they had to shift to a neighbour's house for cover and even spend the night there because their house is always wet from the holes in the roof. They shifted from their bedrooom to their living room previously for cover, untill the pores caught up with them in their temporary refuge.
We pray for urgent help if any can be accorded.
Pictured in the last photo is Sylvia and Mercyline’s daughter Vollen-Shell
UPDATE A donation has been made to cover the cost of repairing Sylvia’s roof. Construction will begin in May, 2018.

Sylvia is doing well. The medicine we buy for her is what keeps her alive. She has a mulnutrition problem at the moment. Hellen, Sylvia's mother only depends on the food provided by Give Amore for Mercyline to sustain her entire family. We examined their roof and it was in very bad shape! The iron sheets are torn, they are rained on whenever it rains (water fills the whole floor of the house) and receive allot of sun rays during sunny days.
