April 28, 2024 – A day to celebrate: birthdays and art classes for children

It's unbelievable how quickly a month can go by! I'm already back in Addis Ababa waiting for my connecting flight.


At the Maasai market I met an artist called Goodluck who agreed to teach our children regularly. The artist will now come to our orphanage once a month and teach the children who are interested in art. Thanks to Thomas and Erika we now have plenty of watercolors, so the children were able to enjoy the first two hours of lessons to the fullest.




No birthday has been celebrated since January 2024. Now we have decided that a cake will be brought out for the birthday children every last Sunday of the month. Today we celebrated the birthdays of eleven children!


Unfortunately, we do not have birth certificates for four of our children. We estimated their age and set a birthday for them ourselves so that they too can be celebrated.




As we said goodbye, the children sang me a beautiful song, which brought a few tears to my eyes.


My next trip is in July. I will spend two weeks with the children then.
