There are also plans to help the children put on their first Christmas Play, complete with angles and wise men.  On Christmas there will be gifts, popcorn, a movie and cokes for everyone!  This project is not only going to bless the children that receive the gifts, but what a great way to connect our hearts with the true meaning of Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Christ with our Kenyan friends.

The team will be leaving Sunday December 20th and returning the 28th.  At this point we have all the gifts we can carry with us, but if you would like to help with the project you can go to the donation page and just indicate Tumaini Christmas and your support will be used to purchase things for the center while we are there.
