Abandoned Baby Centre

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the ABC (or Abandoned Baby Center) for our Sabbath afternoon outreach activity. The name of the place sounds horrible, but the people there are really doing a good work for these children who have no where else to go. The facilities are super nice, considering the area it's located in. Turns out an American couple from Texas started the place, and although they have turned the management of it over to locals, they still do upkeep and fund raising. I was impressed!


The kids really enjoyed the babies, but who wouldn't! Just look at there faces!


There must have been about twenty babies in the infant room. I held this precious little one. She just smiled and laughed at every face I made for her. She was about 7 months old.




Guy-smiley here was in the toddler room. He won our hearts over with his laugh and giggle. He's a happy boy!

Sunday Getaway: Village Market

Image
Since it was our weekend off, we headed to the Village Market early Sunday morning. I had to get up at the crack of dawn to plan for the week, but it was totally worth it. We went with the Raymonds. Here's Kyle being silly! The Village Market has all these cool shops and restaurants. They also have a waterpark. Yes, I did say waterpark. They have about five slides and the funnest lazy river ever! I just wish they had a pool. We'll go there with the students sometime, but it was nice to check it out before hand. I think got it out of my system. (Sorry I didn't get more pictures.) After a bit of swimming, we were starved. Rich had a gyro and I had the spiciest Thai noodles ever! I had to cool my mouth with some gelato. Yum!

Lake Magadi Hot Springs

Image
We visited Lake Magadi once more on a Sabbath afternoon, but this time we didn't take the kids with us. (To see pictures from our previous visit, look under the post titled October trips and click on the web album.) Richard and I ventured into the water this time. The spring is not very deep, but really, really hot! While we were there, Richard took the car out for some four-wheeling in the mud. Here are the tracks he left behind. Mind you, I was NOT in the car! We had to take this picture, because we think this is the spot where part of the movie "The Constant Gardener" was filmed. We don't know for sure, but it's still a cool picture!
