Leaving for Africa!

Ready to leave for Happy Life!

We are all thankful to be safe and dry after Hurricane Harvey and able to leave as planned for Kenya today!

We are so excited for the opportunity to GO and Serve...and love on all the babies and give the "mothers" a helping hand with caring for all the precious children at Happy Life!

This year we have about 800 pounds of donations...packed and repacked...twice, since we removed some items from our bags to donate locally to help those affected here in the Houston area by Hurricane Harvey.  We have also received over $7000 in cash donations to spend once we arrive in Kenya.  These donations are an added bonus to bring along with us to bless Happy Life!

Happy Life Children's Home is opening a Pediatric Hospital and clinic to serve their community this fall...and we were able to raise enough funds (with the help of Rescue Hope and Medical Bridges) to ship two 40-foot containers filled with gently used medical equipment for the hospital.  These containers left the USA in July and will arrive in Kenya sometime in October.  We are so excited to see this new building when we arrive and glad it will provide more guest rooms to accommodate our larger team size this year!

Thank you for partnering with us through your prayers and support...and for going on this journey with us!

Blessings,

The 2017 Happy Life Team
