Happy Life....

Happy life is the name of my new placement here right outside of nairobi.  Not sure if the new area i will be living is considered a slum or not but i am about 99% sure that it is.  Its very intense and dirty and smells....Lovely. My new placement at Happy Life is great. I do love it and i have already met another adorable little girl that i am tempted to bring home as well. Her name is Melody and she is so beautiful.  This placement is for babies who are abandoned at the hospital, etc.  So they have babies from 1 day old to 5 yrs old.  The babies  are not forced to go somewhere else after age 5 but this place is very nice and caring for the children and does a good job of getting the babies adopted.  So pretty much every child eventually gets adopted.  Its the coolest thing, they even have this giant bulliten board of all the babies who have been adopted by families its the sweetest thing.   I got to feed a little baby today and i had a lot of fun doing that as well.  There was baby food all over me and in my hair. Its was so funny.  Jonathan though it was halarious as well....the baby. We only spent a could hours there today the babies sleep from 1 to 3 and then they are given bathes and then i think  some days they want us to come back at 4 to help with the small infants. I am excited to play with the small babies..

I have not met my host family yet. The husband Tony is away for a wedding in Mombasa and The wife Ann is at work.  THey have a 3 year old little girl who i have been told is a very spoiled little ....uh angel!  haha.  I will get to meet them tonight and i will have to report back.  My new roommate is from L.A. and she is only 20.  She is pretty cool and easy going she has been here for 5 months and goes home the day after i do.  she seems pretty excited to go home. 

I am getting more excited to come home....i love my new placement but i do miss El Shaddai. This morning before i left i took a box of paper, crayons, pencils, coloring books, markers, erasers, etc.  The kids were so excited and the Teacher Ann was even happier.  She was so relieved to have pencils.  The pencils the kids were using were about teh size of a quarter and broken and chewed on.  I hated  it so i spent some money on pencils for them.  Anyway, i miss Elizabeth already as well. But I am sure she is doing fine. 


I will report more later this week.
