Group discussion on how to hand out our goodies

There are days that pass quietly, blending into routine, and then there are days that sparkle with laughter, surprise, and unforgettable joy. 12th February 26 was one of those magical days at the children’s home. A day when kindness arrived at the doorstep wrapped in colourful packages, delicious food, and warm smiles for the children.

From early morning, there was a buzz in the air. The children sensed something special was going to happen. Their curiosity grew with every passing minute, little eyes peeking through windows and doors, eager to catch a glimpse of what was coming.


As the gifts were handed out, the room burst into excitement. Laughter, echoed through the room, and smiles stretched wide across every face. Some children hugged their new toys tightly, as if holding onto a dream come true. Others eagerly opened their packages, their eyes lighting up with wonder and delight.

One little boy couldn’t stop grinning as he raced his new toy car across the floor, while a young girl gently cradled her doll, whispering to it as though it were a lifelong friend. The joy was pure, simple, and deeply moving.


The afternoon gently flowed into a wonderful evening filled with stories, games, and shared moments. We played with the children, listening to their stories, and even telling a few of our own. Laughter mixed with storytelling created an atmosphere of comfort and belonging. The children proudly showed off their new toys, inventing games and adventures that brought everyone together.


We also brought some groceries and prepared meals, ready to share not just presents, but a full, joyful experience with the children.

Soon, the kitchen and the outdoor dining area came alive with activity. Together, we cooked, served, and shared a delicious meal. The children were thrilled to be part of it, helping where they could, laughing, and eagerly waiting to taste the food. Sitting together and enjoying the meal created a beautiful sense of family, warmth, and togetherness that filled every corner of the home.


This day reminded us all of a simple truth. kindness is most powerful when it is shared. Whether through a toy, a warm meal, or time spent together, every gesture created moments the children will cherish for a long time.

To our generous well-wishers, thank you for not just giving, but for being present. And for our volunteers in Kenya, Cinda, Manu and Shilaz for cooking, sharing, playing and creating a truly unforgetable day. Your kindness filled the home with Joy, Love and Lasting Memories.

The children burst into laughter as Njeri, without a yoghurt pot, playfully raises a small stone instead turning the moment into pure joy and shared laughter.
