Usually
buying "new" clothes in Kenya, means going down to the local market
where there are piles and piles of clothes that have been donated from all over
the world. The local markets aren't as
neat or pretty of a set up as Value Village or Goodwill back in North America,
where everything is categorized by sizes, gender, dresses, shirts or pants.
It's mounds of clothes that you need to dig through and usually the awesome
treasures of a find are on the bottoms of those heaps.
I have found
skirts and tops at the market, prices ranging from $1.00-6.00. Sean has found
jeans, t-shirts and collared shirts for the same prices. And when we find the
gems, we are so excited.
When we put
the word out about Mama Jean's, we received donations for it, funding that will
help the home over the next few months. Important side note: Thank you so much
friends! And thank You Jesus! So one of the things we did, which was
desperately needed was give each boy at the home a budget for clothes and a day
at the market. Oh my goodness, the sheer excitement!!!
Here are the
boys showing off in their new outfits.
