Anna's Volunteer Opportunities

We wanted to share some of the service work that Anna has been doing here in Kenya. Of course, she continues to be a wonderful big sister to her brother. She reads to Leo often and plays countless games of Matching and Uno with him. But she also has had time to help others.

The other day I needed to teach Preschool class at the last minute. Anna stepped up and was very involved helping the kids with crafts and reading to them.

She has had the opportunity to color pictures and take them to the hospital for sick children. She and her friend Anna F. recently visited a child in the ICU who was scared and not doing well. When he improved and was transferred from the ICU, we were told the pictures they colored for him were above his new bed and he had a great recovery.


Anna has visited the nursery to hold and love on the babies. It was neat to see her holding some of the small babies that we delivered. She was all smiles when she returned from this trip to the hospital.
Watching our kids make us realize that there are so many ways to serve and have a positive impact on the lives of those around us. We are very proud of her - our Anna is growing up.
