The Power of Love for Children

Michelle James – Deramo  Who spent time with these children on a recent trip to Kenya has supplied us with many photo’s of the children at the orphanage. This is one we share to-day.

I am always proud to write about these beautiful children, and today is no different . I have had  4  children of my own and we lost a son  Athol  at  21 yrs, we also have 10 grandchildren so I know what it is like to love a child and  lose a child.

The children  in this photo are an example of some of the starving and orphaned children that have been saved from certain death and their future is just a little brighter now, thanks to the efforts of CEPACET and Jared  Akama Ondieki with  their endless efforts to save as many as possible and  co-ordinate food programs and fund raising.

We are all aware of the current downturn in the worlds  financial situation, so I see this as very sad times for the  already starving children.  They are perishing by hundreds each and every day now, so how bad is it going to get in the near future as the economy faces even tighter times .  How sad also to know that there is more than enough food  in the world to feed the whole worlds population  and that is  fact, not  fiction.

Too much greed and corruption with certain governments around the world, prevent relief from being delivered to where it is needed, so these individuals are totally reliant on donations and assistance from you the general public, we all know this  is  wrong  yet  who  can  standby and watch a child squirming in the dust, to weak to stand and dying.  The food will prevent them from dying, they are in many cases orphans with no family  or next of kin to give them the main ingredient of life after nourishment,  and my friends all humans require this……LOVE ….. I have seen first hand and experienced   The  Power of  Love  for Children.

The children above in the photo are glowing, you will find that it is the love and  affection they are getting at the orphanage that does this  ,  not  the  food as it is only the fuel for the body.  My mission from here on since becoming aware of the problems the underprivilaged and starving children face , is to make a difference and I could use some help from  whoever  feels they can  assist me and the others as we virtually are facing an uphill battle.

We move onto a lighter note now as I would like to report on behalf of Jared that the  food and easter goodies have all been distributed among the orphans and some of the families in the street slum area’s.  So to those who donated for this we thank you all so very much, as  none of the food you donated towards was wasted and it has helped so many.
After this  photo I want to hand you over to  Barbara  Horst with her report as she  does a great job for Jared.

Here is another photo of the children , this time with Michelle who the children grew to love.

Barbara’s  Report

PART 1

Gifts  Of  Honor-  we run a group for  Jared and the children on Facebook which you can join or  like most do, they donate what they can afford in honor of some one they love or admire, and we then aknowlege them and the honor.

This group is to empower and encourage people who can’t wait to reach out beyond themselves. We envision everyone empowered to experience the joy of giving.

The amount is inconsequential, (Do keep in mind that paypal fees eat up small amounts, so put amounts smaller than $5 or $10 into your CEPACET piggy bank until they add up that.) It is the act of moving toward connecting with others in the sharing of ourselves that is thrilling. The amounts we give, no matter what they are will only be multiplied by the purity of our good intentions.

Here is the donation link:
All proceeds got to provide nourishment and basic supplies for those in extremely strained circumstances in Kenya.
You can read more about the project here:
Peace to all,
Barbara Horst

Thank you for that report Barbara, and she will have two more parts to that over the next couple of publications,  so keep an eye out for that.

To all our followers and readers I hope you spent some quality time with loved ones and family over easter, and that you never ate too much chocolate.  I was fortunate enough to have some of my grandchildren, visit and share chocolate eggs with  Poppy & Nanny,  that is when I also got  to again witness  The  Power of  Love for  Children .
I will bid  you all farewell for now and ask that you  Consider The Children and the love they need.
