Due to not being able to afford treatment Michele's mother passed away when Michele was 4 years old. Michele was rescued from her mother's arms 4 days after she passed. Unfortunately, in Kenya most cannot afford to have additional children so many people left her as they were walking by.

Nursing Home Delights

Meeting my new friends at the nursing home in the Dominican Republic. Although we were not able to speak the same language, we were able to get to know each other well after spending a day together.

This visit taught me that many of the residents are dropped off and then never see any of their family or communicate with them ever again. But they loved spending the day with all of us visitor.

Peanut Butter Making Session

Look at me getting to help make peanut butter. I never knew making peanut butter was such an intense process. (It took us hours to cook, grind, and jar the peanut butter).

Tragic Love

From this photo you can see a baby about 18 months old and a 9-year-old girl. Really an innocent photo, until you realize the 18-month-old is the 9-year-olds child. It is not uncommon for these girls to have their first child by the age of 9-11 years old. Many of these pregnancies are because the girls are loaned out by their families to obtain grain to feed their other children.

Here you will see another fancy home. Mainly made of wood similar to a pallet.
