We are loving our time in Kenya and have so enjoyed being here! Our time is quickly coming to an end and we already know it’s going to be so hard to leave this place and the incredible people that live here.
The last few weeks have been super busy with getting photos and video content, but we’ve loved making time to just hang out with the babies and get to know the teens better. And we’ve already been asked by several staff members if we’ll just extend our trip and stay longer. 😉 Which has been more than a little tempting! Not only are the people amazing, but the weather here is just incredible! We’re not thrilled to leave the sunny and 70 degree days for cold and dreary Missouri weather…. 😉
We’re excited to share with you photos from the last few weeks and hope you love seeing a glimpse into the life here in Kenya and around Naomi’s Village! And if you’re interested in visiting NV, they love having visitors and you can snuggle babies, help in the kitchen, play basketball and soccer with the teens, or give your lungs a workout and hike Mt. Longonot. All while enjoying tropical weather and the amazing scenery that is offered here in Kenya. 🙂
