Heading toward Lake Victoria and Dr. Kenya's Village

Yesterday evening we posted the blog post we wrote the evening of the day we arrived. Yesterday we stayed very busy. We went to Hershima Home that houses many children with disabilities during the day, and then gives their mothers a place to work. Hershima means respect. The mothers all design and make jewelry- their business is called Dignity Designs. I think you may be able to look them up on Facebook!

Here in Kenya often children born with disabilities are killed or the mothers and children become outcasts of society. This place gives them a safe place to live and make a living. 

I wish you could have seen Dr. Popwell and Dr. Kenya as they adjusted the children. The first child was scared, so Dr. Kenya took him on his chest and held him close so the boy felt safe. Dr. Kenya laid down on the adjusting table with the boy on his chest- as if he were the adjusting table, and then Dr. Popwell adjusted the boy. Since that worked so well, that is what they ended up doing with the rest of the children. 

They also adjusted all the mothers, the workers at the house and the construction workers who were helping to construct the compound. 

The first part of the morning was slow and so I sat at the table with the mothers and talked with them. I met many many ladies; Josephine, Lamb, Ann, Elizabeth, and many more. 

I would write more but we are beginning to load the car so I need to put the laptop away and help.
