One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed.

Dear friends, here is a photo of children who have managed to find a couple of eggs from the free range hens that live at St Irene's Mission Kenya and help to supply some of the food for the orphanage. Apart from thirty orphans that are fully dependent on Fr Constantinos and his team, there are another 90 children who also receive education, accommodation and care as they are vulnerable and their parents are unable to provide for them for a variety of reasons.

As you can see Kenyan winters are cold and from this photo and others that I have shown, you can see that the children are quite healthy and happy looking, well dressed and well loved. In order for this to continue Fr Constantinos requires regular donations towards Saint Irene's Mission as he receives no government funding or other formal financial support. Much of his time is involved in sourcing donations to feed these children and dealing with the stressors associated not only of the responsibility of their ongoing physical and spiritual care but also of the consequences of living in this constant state of poverty. Fr Constantinos has visions also of buying a couple of acres of land and erecting some purpose built dwellings one day as they are currently renting very rudimentary premises, however the immediate needs are always more pressing

Thank you very much to those who have donated and perhaps some may consider making small donations on a regular basis. It's the small steps that we continue to make on a steady basis that often enable us to reach our destinations. Perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing this fundraiser with your friends on FB.
No donation is too small and much appreciated.

Proverbs 19:17 One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed.

Good deeds will always follow you for the rest of your life
Live many years
Looking forward for your help.

 
Greetings from Yours in Christ
