Children of Mathare Valley

Peace.

On my mission trip to Kenya I encountered some of the most beautiful children I have ever seen and met. They lived in the slums of Mathare North. These children did not want worldly things. All they wanted was love and that was the easiest thing I could give ever them. Even though they were struck with diseases and all sorts of problems it did not matter at the time. I was honestly frightened of them because I am not a kid person. They would jump up and down everytime they saw me. It was the best experience of my young life.
