Coats for Kambi Teso

I borrowed this photo from a friend's Facebook page: Sarah Patty came and volunteered at Open Arms this year and took some really amazing photos. This is a little boy in our feeding program. The last day of the Kambi Teso medical clinic, it was cold and raining when we were packing up to leave. This boy had no coat and was freezing cold, and we gave him a garbage bag to cover him. Little did he know that in just a few days, he would be given a real coat to wear - thanks to some generous donors from the US and the UK who bought brand new coats for all 150 children in our Kambi Teso feeding program! This is the coldest, rainiest time of the year in Kenya, so the timing was perfect! The kids are so happy!





Wearing a new raincoat - I love his smile!

 I can't describe the feeling of standing in a tin roofed shelter, seeing tiny, dirty children get fitted in shining new coats. This was such a great day!!

 

The sun was shining when the kids got their coats, so many of them were sweating in them, 

but they wouldn't take them off!

 

THANK YOU to everyone who donated toward this cause! You made a lot of kids smile!
