Meet Junior!

Meet Junior Mwangangi Kitili, our sponsored child from Kenya! 

Kyle and I have wanted to sponsor a child for so long, and I'm so happy that we finally took the time to do this!  We chose Compassion, a Christian organization that my sister has been involved with for years and had nothing but positive things to say about it.  Their slogan is "Releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name", doesn't get much better than that!

 

Here is some background on Junior:  He was born March 21, 2006, which will make him 6 years old next month.  Junior lives with his mother.  He is responsible for carrying water and running errands.  His mother is sometimes employed as a laborer.  There are 3 children in his family.  Soccer, playing ball games and playing group games are Junior's favorite activities. He does live in an aids infected area, but the most common health problems include malaria and typhoid.  His community needs schools, water and playgrounds.  

Our sponsorship allows the staff of Mbangwani AIC Church Child Development Center to provide Junior with Bible studies, medical services, sports activities, camps and arts and crafts lessons.  The staff will also provide community service opportunities to Junior's mom.

There are so many children on this website that need sponsors, so if this is something you all have been wanting to do as well there is no better time than now!  We cannot wait to start praying for him, write to him and hear back from Junior with what he's been learning and doing!
