“Oh, magic hour, when a child first knows she can read printed words!” - Betty Smith

Reading will always be an important part of Agape's tutoring program because reading is how you gain knowledge and cultivate imagination! 📚

We want to tell you a story, since by now you already know what day it is 🙂

In her own words, from staff member Dorcas:

"From your first meeting with a child, since they are coming from the streets, you don’t see hope because you only see the street behaviors. When I first came to be a Transition teacher,
I learned to pray, Lord - how can I help this child to change what they are now, to what they want to be? God has given us wisdom to know how to handle each child individually. When we love them in
spite of their behaviors, we show them God’s love.

There was a boy named Gabriel* who was a very tough case. He was very big and tall and had violent outbursts in class. We have been trained to connect with children in order to correct them. So, after class I spoke to Gabriel calmly and gently. I asked, ‘What have you done? Is it right?’ He threw hands and spoke loudly while I just remained quiet. Then Gabriel said, ‘I don’t think so.’ So I asked him if we can please try a different way in class. Slowly by slowly, Gabriel began to change. When he had an outburst, I just looked at him softly and waited. He would then say, ‘Sorry!’ I told him, ‘You are on the road to changing. Don’t worry how you are behaving now. You will change.’ I just loved him, in spite of his behaviors. I saw Gabriel transformed!

Whatever the difficult situation the child is from, the word of God and prayer are the answer. Every lesson in Transition Class has the word of God in it. Romans 12:2 says, ‘Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.’ We encourage the children to stop trusting in themselves. We encourage the children to give their lives to Jesus and be transformed. I have never been so contented as I am now, serving the children in Transition class!"

Giving has gone down from last year. (About 19%, to be mathematical about it). And yet, we're smiling like this kid here, because we're trusting that the Lord will provide the means to open a third rehabilitation center in Nakuru in early 2023. There are around 950 children living on the streets in Nakuru right now, and there are currently no organizations there that focus on reuniting children with their families.

Giving Tuesday is exactly one week away! Would you consider giving to Agape this year? Help us get to Nakuru so that many hundreds more can be restored to loving and safe families!

Thank you to our teachers! They bring children up

Thank you to our teachers! They bring children up to speed in maths, English, Swahili, reading, etc. so they can make a smooth transition into school when they are ready to go home. Thank you, teachers! You are essential to each child's journey home to family.
