Marilyn took photos of the twenty-three little ones in the New Start program of
Ripples International
in Meru, Kenya. All of these beautiful
children were abandoned - and now need adoptive or foster families to love and care for them.

We visited a young man at Burieruri Boys Secondary School near Maua, Kenya. He is in the Sponsored Children Program of Ripples
International – and we’ve known him since he arrived at Ripples when he was two years old. His favorite subject is Biology – we’re
hoping he’ll go on to do some great work in the medical field. He also enjoys coding in his free time.

We worked with a third-year student at Kenya Methodist University who developed new websites for two Mission Partners of Noroton
Presbyterian Church in Darien. Click to see the sites of
Tumaini Children’s Ministry
in Nyeri, Kenya and
Rossholme Education Centre

We had lunch at Alba in Meru with a friend we met when she was with Ripples Int’l in 2008. Now she works at Embu
University - and has a daughter in her first year at Catholic University in Nairobi. And she has a sister in Toronto,
Ontario, Canada and a sister in Texas and two sisters in Wisconsin and nieces and nephews who visit during their
summer holidays.
