Mully Children's Home

Before I left Canada to come here to Kenya I was privileged to see the Mully Children's Choir from Kenya. Since I had time to learn a little more about the organization and see some of these great kids I want to see if I could find time to visit once I was here. That time came on Sat.  I will not go into all the details about the organization as it is a big story.  But here is the link if you are interested

I started my travels to Nairobi at 2:40 am on Friday.  We have a local driver that picks us right from the school. The only issue is leaving so early.  So I was up early and ready to go.  The plan was to meet Rose (Friends in Nairobi) along the way at a certain point. The planed worked and I was dropped of to her along the side of the road at 5:30 am.  The original plan with Rose was to go to Mully home on Friday. Then I would spend the night at Rose's and head home on Sat.  But when we got to the house Rose asked if we can change to visit Mully on the Sat. as she just found out about and event she needed to be at on Friday.  So we decided to make that change and both went back to bed for a while.  Rose left the house around 10 am with thoughts to be back mid afternoon.  I spent the day reading and relaxing out is the nice warm sun.  Rose did not get home until 8 pm.  It was a long day but a good test for me who does not like a lot of alone time.  When she came home we made some supper and chatted.  Then we headed to bed.

Sat. morning we woke with the intent to leave at 8 am to be at Mully for 9 as I had arranged.  We did not leave the house until 9.  We did not get to Mully until almost 11.  I needed to be leaving Nairobi around 3.  So I tried to get over my frustration and use the time we had.  It was good time but wished we had more.  Since it was Sat. the kids were not in class.  Here are a few numbers.

This location (there are about 5 in total across Kenya) is spread over 500 acres of land.  They have 350 kids.  They consist of about 67 young Mom's (under 18). The rest are academy or high school kids as well as about 100 college kids.  Here are some pictures that show the rest.
