Nairobi Childrens home

Today was a hard day for us. We went to the Nairobi childrens home which is the government run orphange. There is 75 kids there but it can get up to 200. They have very little money and have about 5 staff per shift for the 75 kids. As you can tell it was very hard to see. About 6 babies on a bed for sleeping, many left to cry themselves to sleep. I walked into one of the rooms with 15 babies and one staff and there was a boy in the crib that stuck out to me. I got closer to his crib and I knew he was disabled. His name is Eric and 9 years old. I dont know what disability he has but he maybe weights 35 lbs, about 2 feet and can not walk or talk. The staff said he was rescued from his home becasue he was locked in a room not able to leave. I asked the staff if I could take him outside and she said yes even though he normally only leaves his crib once a day. I sat with him and my heart broke. To sit they put him in a would slanted chair with a block inbetween his knees so he doesnt fall forward. Leaving was hard to do because I left feeling helpless, but I am going to do something for him when I come home. I dont know what, but we cant let him live like this any more.....and Jon smith if you follow my blog, please know you are the first i am going to contact. we HAVE to do something.......
