THE LATEST CHILDREN NEWS
The now 49 children of the Tumaini home have asked us here in the UK to send you all Christmas and New Year greetings and a very big thank you for your support over the years.
The staff at the Home and the trustees in the UK would like to join them in wishing you all a safe and peaceful Christmas. They all hope for a more prosperous 2011.
This is just a short newsletter with special good news.
The Home has recently taken in 8 children from NW (Eldoret) area of Kenya, where HIV/AIDS is rife and the families have also suffered due to political disturbances a while back. We hope to bring in more children now as virtually all the construction is done - both the Home and the School.
Let the following pictures speak for themselves.

TCH has continued receiving visitors, well wishers and volunteers who donate food stuffs, clothes and other items not forgetting the time they spend with the children. However more of the help is still required to sustain the required growth. On 21st all children went to Crossroads church for a special mass to mark Christmas.
