This is the church in Dandora that we are helping to build.  It has been partnered with Compassion for over 20 years.  They have roughly 300 kids in this project that are in school and receive food, medical care and some clothing as part of the sponsorship.  The volunteers that run this place are infectious with spirit!
 This is Steven in the middle.  We got the opportunity to visit his home.  He is 20 and his mom and dad are both deceased.  He has been part of the Compassion program since he was 7.  His home was roughly 8ft x 8ft in space.  About the size of an average bathroom in California.

Several of the kids in the slums.  If they are wearing a uniform, it means that they attend school and are likely sponsored.  They all run up and say "hello, how are you?"  Since most of the kids dont have mirrors, they love to look at themselves in your camera display.  They laugh when you show them!

 
 This trash pile went for miles and is basically the city dump for the city of Nairobi, the largest town in Kenya.  The Compassion Project we are working at is about 400 yards from this trash pit.  People scavenger through the trash for anything useful they can sell.
