These two little buildings are the classrooms for the 4 and 5 year olds at the Kibera, Nairobi preschool. Each classroom has 34 children. Right now Kenya Territory is in the process of building new classrooms, very much needed. Kibera is a very large slum in Nairobi and this school is on the edge of that slum. Most of the children at Kibera school are AIDS orphans. They are fed a good lunch at the school, for many the only meal they have each day.
Within the classrooms at Kibera School was this little fellow wearing a Cubs jacket–I had to have him come out and get a picture! The children were very loving and happy to see us. They all want to shake hands–all at once!
Here is the inside view of one of the classrooms, with half of the class showing. Included in the picture is the Kibera Corps officer and the teacher. Wonderful, caring people. God is providing through the Army at Kibera!

Cubs fans in Africa? Who knew?
Great pictures! They remind me of my summer in Zambia… hopefully I’ll get to go back someday! Love and prayers to you as you pull together the loose ends for this summers teams… you know my heart is with you!
Wonderful pictures of the school – it amazes me to compare what American kids have. We have absolutely no excuse for not learning, eh?
wow, that’s really great! i’m sooooo excited!
Hey Chris! I’m glad you get to do some travelling as well! What’s amazing is that I’ve stood in that very building and taken pictures of those children. Ah, memories… I hope Kirsten is doing well there!
