Today Kathryn & I drove out of town with Quinton’s parents to take them to the airport on Monday.  We left fairly early and Pastor Edward came with us so that he could meet a friend from the US, who was travelling back with us.  On our way we visited Watoto so that Quinton’s parents could see what we built in 2005.  For me this was a fantastic experience; when we visited last year it was great to see the children that were living in the house then.  I remember thinking how it was great to have saved these children.   But this year the boys had grown so much, and the eldest boy was almost a young man, which had me thinking that we were not just saving children from desperate situations, but giving them a new life, a life that is full of good things and achievements.  A life that would have been without many things we are giving them, or for many, a life that may not have lasted too much longer.  Here are some photos of the boys at House 76, Suubi Village, the house that we built:

For those that came with us in 2005, Mama Millie had a few medical problems and has been replaced by Mama Joyce:

Since today is actually Quinton’s birthday we just had to go to Haandi’s for dinner and order a meal for him, hope he’s having a nice meal back home, because this was absolutely fantastic, sorry Q.
