We started our day in the small chapel, it was the first chapel built of Phase 3. The song from the children were like angels. It is my favorite mass. -- Anna
My favorite moment today was going to mass at St. James, and then watching the girls perform a dance routine for our group. This is my third trip to Nairobi with St. Monica's, and my favorite part is always the children of St. James. I've never seen kids that are so appreciative and genuinely happy meet new people, be with each other, dance and go to school.
The last time I was on this trip, I was fortunate to be a part of the groundbreaking for the maternity ward. Today, we saw it fully completed and ready for the grand opening on Saturday! We also stopped by to see the brand new church that is opening on Sunday that will accommodate mass for over 1800 people. The last time I saw this property, it was just a pile of dirt with some concrete. St. Monica's has played a major role in raising money for the development of these two projects, and It's amazing to see how far faith and generosity can go. Because of this, I take pride in being a part of Saint Monicas.
