Good-Byes All Around

Our time in Kenya is winding down and we are all filled with joy and sadness.  It was so hard to say good-bye to the children and youth we have fallen in love with.   BUT.. we know John and James will keep the Youth Art Project alive and will continue to care for the families in their community.

Allison, Chance, and I feel like we have been on a roller coaster!  Great joy, deep sadness, physical exhaustion and then a child grabs our hand or runs into our arms and we are pulled deeper into the heart of this community.

We spent time at Faith Academy, a small private school, this afternoon where some of the Art Project youth attend.  We were greeted with singing and dancing!

One more goodbye!  Chance leaves on his journey to the DRC in just a few hours.  More joy and a bit of sadness as we have watched Africa become his home.  We love our boy and are so very proud of him!
