For those of you who think that it never gets cold in Limuru:  sorry, you are wrong At about 7000 feet altitude Limuru can be quite chilly and windy at times. For that reason the kids at The Nest where very excited about the gifts they got from American friends of The Nest. Look at the big guys with their new warm hats on:

And even the housemothers with hats on! Hoorray!

Njuguna is really good at making his own cars out of wire. But more than that, his ability and creativity gives him a feeling of confidence after all the hardship he has had to experience in his short life. Many children at the Nest arrive at the Nest traumatized and sad. At the Nest they learn to laugh again. Look at the sparkle in his eyes!

Njuguna ist unglaublich geschickt im Basteln, am liebsten Autos aus Draht. Darauf ist er stolz, doch vielmehr schenkt im diese Freude am Basteln neues Selbstbewusstsein nach einem schweren Schicksal. Viele Kinder kommen traumatisiert ins Nest. Es kann dauern, bis sie das Lachen wieder lernen… Seht euch das Leuchten in Njugunas Augen an!
