Meet Alice...she is 7 yrs old, and lives on the streets of Kitale Kenya.She comes to Oasis of Hope drop-in-center each day for the free breakfast and lunch.
Normally she would also love attending classes and singing and playing with the 150+ kids Oasis serves every day.
But tuberculosis has robbed Alice of her ability to enjoy group activities for the time being...
She sits and watches the kids play and hears the songs and then the staff bring her meals to her...TB is common among street kids in Kitale and is sadly very contagious...
So Alice sits...and watches...and listens...and WISHES...that life could be different...somehow...
Steve: Thank you for your consistent and unwavering love of Oasis. You have the ability to reach so many people and hopefully to soften hearts to share the blessings of their lives so that the kids of Oasis....like Alice...can have better lives. Wish I were there with you! It is MY birthday next week...you owe ME a cake!
