Am also thankful that am able to be part of what you are doing for Migwani Jim,you must remain blessed at all time. Thanks in advance Dickson Wambugu  April 28, 2012 To the kind folks who have supported Child Focus Africa (CFA) projects in Migwani, Kenya I write to thank you with all my heart for the home for 74 ostracized Special Needs children in Kenya that we built together.
The dormitory was an extremely successful project. A list of the names of the major sponsors is visibly inscribed on a plaque in the dormitory and of course, in our hearts and minds. You have made a mark in the history of Migwani and have been part of the wheels of change that have swept this community. Today, the dormitory represents not only a home and refuge for the ostracized and under-privileged, but a turning point in the practice of customs of the Kamba people in Migwani that once pointed fingers to these children. Through this successful project, the Government of Kenya has recognized the needs of these children and devoted some funds to support the Special Needs Unit in a bid to match the humanitarian gesture that emanated from a continent away. Though the unit will always lack in funding, the change in mindset is a victory we will cherish forever. Since the completion of the Dormitory, CFA has continued to support these on-going and related projects in Migwani and if you are interested in helping us further, you can read more about them at Current CFA Projects on this site: CFA is grateful for the support and believe that your generosity will go along way. I look forward to sharing more on our work and hopefully meeting you all one day to express my personal thanks. I thank you and God bless you abundantly! Paul Kenya (Founder) Child Focus Africa, Kenya Below are some emails from Kenya - mostly thank you notes from Madam Ester Kasina – the teacher who has done so much to help the dormitory children. Kasina has been a key link in the chain of care. (Pleas bear in mind that English is her third language after Swahili and Kamba) Dear Kay, I hope you are very fine as you read this mail. We are doing quite well. The children closed school for a short while (3wks). Your best friend Juliana was all smiles as she went home with her package. I hope I will be able to send you some pictures when they open. Thanx kay. U have made us in Migwani face tomorrow with confidence. May God bless you big Esther. -------- Dear Kay. Greetings from Migwani. I hope that this mail finds you well. We are very fine. The children are doing fine. Your best friend Juliana is alright and very Jolly as usual. Now kay dear, this mail is just to appreciate your donation towards Juliana and the special needs unit. Am planning to buy a present for her, and some small plastic fixing blocks. These will improve her finger dexterity and improve her fine motor muscles whic will assist in writing.the present will include a dress,a small ball and a pair of shoes. Some money will go to the school fees and if it remains it will assist in the unit as u had suggested. I hope i will be able to send you some pictures when i purchase those items. Am looking for a digital camera. Cheers kay till next time. Ester Kasina Nov 21/11 Jambo Jim, Am so grateful for the support you have continually given me.

Esther Kasina -------- Feb 19/11 Dear Jim and Judy, I hope this mail finds you okay. Am just so grateful. I have just received the laptop from Dennis strain. It’s so beautiful.
