Volunteers at the Centre have made new swings for the children to play on.

And there is a new dog – Lucy – who is proving very popular with the children and the visitors!

URGENT APPEAL

The ongoing drought and food shortages in Africa are having a serious effect on the DCSC’s ability to feed the children who attend the Centre.

Food is getting more and more expensive every day.

From Sandy Browning:

We re-visited the Orphanage a few weeks ago, to see the classrooms that we had funded and also to take out gifts for the children. It was lovely to see them again, and we had a small party which enabled us not only to see the children and staff but also to meet some of the parents.

The first picture is the kitchen build which a German lady has funded, as you can see a huge difference from the old one, it even has running water, an absolute luxury. The other is the beautiful children drinking fizzy pop, the day of our small party.

If you’ve visited the Diani Children Support Centre and have some photos you’d like to share, please send them to me and I’ll publish them on this page.

So far this year (2011), fourteen more children have joined us at the Diani Children Support Centre.

We welcome Esther Wanjiku and wish her success!

The two new classrooms at the Diani Children Support Centre are fully finished we will be opening them officially very soon.

Next to the new classrooms we are planning to build a dormitory for the orphans.

We are now requesting well wishers to help us buy a four acre plot (which costs twelve million KSH) far away from airport because the airstrip is very near to the school and will be expanding in five years or less.  We will not feel safe then.

THE PLAN FOR THE FOUR ACRES

• one acre to build the orphanage
• one acre to build a primary school
• one acre will be a playground for the children
• one acre will be for grazing cows and farming activities.

If we can get to this stage the project can be self supporting and our dream will come true!

We offer our sincere thanks to all the individuals and families who have visited the centre and done something to help us.

We would like to give special thanks to the management of Diani Sea Resort and Diani Sea Lodge, for their marvelous work and bringing visitors to the centre.

We have listed the names of the people who have supported us in the past on the ‘our supporters’ page and hope that new well wishers will come forward to join us in helping support the poor kids by giving them education and care.

This special message is designed and sent to you from the founder of New Diani Children Support Centre pastor DANIEL NJAGI KIURA and entire manager pastor STEPHEN M  MURUNGU.  We wish you all the best and may GOD bless you.
