Departure countdown.. 24 days!! John (pictured below) is counting the days until we arrive. We arrive on Monday evening (the 9th) and get right to work on Tuesday morning.

| John and James are leaders and founders of the Youth Art Project. The slum community of EmBul-Bul, just north of the Karen turn-a-bout. (Karen, Nairobi, Kenya on your Google Map), is home to families who are cared for by the Youth Art Project. John and James are dedicated to their community and creating a safe environment for youth and children. |
 |
| Families can stop by the Youth Art Project to receive clothing, shoes, and school supplies. We are happy to pick up any children's clothing (light weight) you would like to donate. Becki and Allison will be working with the women in the community on nutrition and using resources available in the community. Since our last trip, John has played an important role in helping to bring "clean" water to EmBul-Bul. A water tank is now available and women can walk shorter distances to get water for their families. |
 |
| School age children come to the Youth Art Project after each school every day. They are provided with a healthy snack, academic tutoring , as well as art classes, soccer practice, and a place just to "hang out" with friends. |

Little Willie and his family live in the Youth Art Project compound. He was not attending school on our last trip. We have been able to stay in touch with his family thanks to John and the world of Face Book. Chance is looking forward to spending time with Willie and getting him on the soccer field.
We look forward to you traveling with us via our blog.
Becki, Allison and Chance...
