SOPWITH HOUSE
TO CHARLES Romberger,and Donald FenestreMarek
Good Morning, is a morning hour in Kenya now is around
9.30.AM. We are very happy the Lord has led us very far. As all of
you understand, this has been a challenging year to us, at a time
we count the loss of things due to fire outbreak. As we come
closer to cover 6 months in this year 2016, we are happy to say,
with God all things are possible. Thank you for the time your
closer to us,tomorrow is Fathers Day, join me to remember the
children that are in sorrowful manner, those that are missing parental love especially fathers love, only because their fathers died or they are jailed, they are sorronded with low
income, poor environment, poor networking, divorce, hatred, lack of responsibility, those who are out of wedlock,
academic stature, whereby illiterate parents take education as nothing to their children, cruelity among others. We
know that we have many areas that affect child either in one way or the other, that is why you and we have come to
Mercy Home and we shelter children of 5 categories; 1. Orphans, 2. Neglect 3. Street children, 4. Vulnerable
5.Sexual abuse.
These children who are brought to our institution, they are having a high hope for their better future, fast they are
well sheltered, educated, surrounded with good care and hope to have modern facilities for the good care of this
children. For them to achieve all this, we depend on partner friends like you. Thank you for devoting yourself to help
this institution. The most wicked place that affect our institution, is financial area, at a time is not easy. So, thank
you for your love and contributions, the mentioned particulars as shelter, education and building projects, we salute
you, we love you, welcome and feel so happy to help us in this institution. We have 51 children in number, hope in
July we will be sending you the pictures of this children per child. Remember the project of the building we haven’t
covered yet, welcome.- On the side of food we are very low, so remember us too. Thank You and have a good Sunday.
