Most of you know that Peace House supports a home for street children called Amani ("amani" means "peace" in Swahili). I first saw it 3 years ago when they were really struggling. Now, they are making plans for construction of a new building and it's really an amazing program! We spent an hour or so there last week with Project 640 (more on them later). Mark doesn't get enough mention on the blog, but yes, we did bring him along...
The kids were subdued to realize they were surrounded by sixty-some kids who have no homes. Some have run away because there wasn't food or they couldn't attend school. Some have lost parents and were mistreated or abused and arrived in Moshi to live on the street. Amani runs a reunification program to help families resolve issues that will allow the children to return home. The kids are very friendly and love showing off for cameras. Cameron was a good sport.
Noah is always less than thrilled to have his picture taken and was pretty overwhelmed by the attention from the kids. This was the only pic he was willing to put up with...
