UPDATE FEBRUARY 9, 2009 Praise God for funds received from Brother Stu for orphan education needs. The funds will be wired today when I send funds to Pastor Jonah to help defray costs of funeral feeding, etc. Please continue to pray that: - the scholarship funding from the Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) will come through for the two orphans who are waiting - we will find a donor for the 3rd orphan, Chelangat who is totally without relatives or support - more help will come in for the school supplies and bedding still needed (Bro. Stu's help will cover much of this need). I do not have an update on the 4th and 5th students who needed help to go to school. This means they have not received the help they need, so please also pray for them as well. I want to thank Juanita for helping these students. It was a huge help and blessing. I also want to thank Ronnie for sending a cheque to help these students get an education. The cheque has not yet arrived in Kenya yet but when it does it will be put to good use. God bless all of you for your faithful prayers and service. God sees and knows all. God bless! xoxoxo Penny UPDATE - February 7, 2009 3390 Kenyan shillings have been used for orphan school supplies. For Beatrice - Already admitted to Secondary Girls School. School fees to be paid by scholarship. Spent on her expenses kshs 2900 as follows:
- school uniform:- skirts kshs 1000
- sweater,socks and blouse kshs 1050
- utensils and pens kshs.220
- fare and lunch kshs. 400
- other kshs. 230
Other expenses met by friend, relative and well wishers.
For Moureen - Has joined Secondary school and been recommended for scholarship.
Used 300 Kenyan shillings on her expenses.
Other outstanding needs are a mattress,blanket, bed sheets and miscellaneous for total cost kshs 3800. She will be a day scholar until we get funds to meet these expenses. Other expenses met by relatives and well wishers.
The other child Chelangat has changed schools and we are waiting for a vacancy.
This child is a total orphan and has no adult to assist so the expenses are high. this may cost kshs 8500. Pray much pray for this child.
Note: The two scholarship orphans are attending school free after making arrangements with the head teachers until we get funds. We rely on scholarships from NGOS and hope this (funding approval) will soon go through.
God bless you. Brother Thomas
