Check out this new “scrapbook” of photos sent over last week from the Bryce Homes for Widows and Children in Kenya. The new latrines (which were paid for by Understand the Times and Lighthouse Trails readers) are continuing to go up. Also in here, you will see some photos of how some of the widows must travel to get water for family use from a borehole. But soon Widows Lewnida and Alice will have a well built right next to their two homes (also thanks to our donors). Thank you Lord for Your faithfulness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The background music in the slideshow is from Amanda LeBail’s CD A String of Pearls<\/em>. Amanda is from the UK and sings beautiful irish-styling hymns and other biblically-based songs. You can listen to clips of this CD here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
