I received many suggestions and offers through Couchsurf to visit the UN headquarters, game drives in Nairobi National Park, visit the Elephant Orphanage etc.

The offer that caught my heart was from Pastor David. He offered to host me for a few hours in his home where he also looks after 25 orphans.

These children lost their parents from the violent conflict during the election in 2007, death by natural cause or the prevalent virus of HIV/AIDS.

Pastor David’s aim is to ensure that these children receive basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing and most importantly, education.

His goal is to make these children self-sufficient so they can build a bright future ahead and be fully dependent on their skills and capabilities.

He doesn’t put the children into public schools to avoid the dangers of possible rape. He wants only what’s best for these children by what he is capable of.

I was happy to be able to spend my couple of hours in Nairobi with these beautiful souls and contributed some donations with the help of my friends.

Pastor David is looking forward to expanding their space so that he could take in more children and provide better homes.

If you wish to contribute to these children’s future, please feel free to contact Pastor David.

Every little bit helps ☺

And if you ever visit Nairobi, he will be more than happy to open his home to you ❤

Emmanuel has been looking after 200 orphans between the age of 3 to 13 years old that were removed from the place they used to call home when Rwanda decided to close all orphanages in 2012.

These children have been fostered by families who were already barely making ends meet. However, with open heart they adopted another child.

I was touched by the story of how Emmanuel tried to give each one of them a home. He did this because he knows exactly what these children feel and what they need as he used to live in an orphanage.

Here are some photos of the kids whom I have donated some school supplies with the help of my friends.

I really wish I could give more and spend time with the kids. Due to time constraint, I couldn’t meet these lovely children.

If any of you are going to visit Rwanda or know someone who is going there; please contribute to these children for a brighter future.

Remember that; every little bit helps. ❤
