CELEBRATING JEREMY'S TWENTY-FOURTH BIRTHDAY
World Gospel Mission has a program called Volunteers In Action (VIA). Two VIA girls have been here with us. They are Rachel Spiegel from New Albany, OH, and Heather Loring from Philadelphia, PA. Today, again, some of the team played with the babies. Many concentrated on painting the fence. We are nearly caught up to the place where the Kenyan workers are bolting the boards on the frames. We continue from day to day to have someone who is having trouble keeping hydrated while working out in the hot sun. Most days the temperature is about eighty-five degrees with little cloud cover. Although rain would be welcome, rain would greatly interfere with the progress on the fence project. I have acquired a couple of new names while here in Kenya. “Babu” means “grandpa” in Swahili. The babies who are old enough to speak, call me “Babu”. Since I am the oldest person here, the Kenyan adults call me “Big Daddy”. I now have too many names to remember!
