I arrived in Nairobi this morning, after a 40 hour trip via DFW, Frankfurt and Cairo. Kenya is worth it, I love this place, especially the people. They are so welcoming and interesting.

I'll be here until the 12th, revisiting New Life Home Trust. PFO donors have enabled us to donate more than $20,000 to this Christian medical orphanage. The pictures below capture what they do for babies in across Kenya. New Life takes in orphaned, abandoned, and HIV positive babies that most other homes refuse. They've taken in over 1,080 babies so far. About 70% of the babies arrive here HIV+, but with care and medical attention, more than 75% of the babies have gone from HIV+ to HIV-. 100% of those remain negative today. Over 700 have been adopted into loving homes, and all are up for adoption.

I'll be able to post pictures and video throughout the week.
