they say it takes a village.. .




i met Dr. Mendonsa during my first couple weeks at CURE. I had heard rumors of an american doctor who had come over to kenya to work for CURE and had started a children's home... I knew from the moment i began hearing about it, that i wanted to be apart of whatever it was they were doing down the mountain.

After i had settled in a bit in Kijabe i made my way down to Maai Mahiu and instantly fell in love. thirty something youngsters all adopted and clothed as "the future leaders of kenya"!! i say thirty something because Naomi's Village is constantly growing. Every time i go down there, i meet new babies, all unique, all with individual stories, all rescued and shown the powerful redemption of Christ ! See the Mendonsa's have a vision about a generation rising up, these kids are being trained up to believe they are difference makers, leaders, and most importantly sons and daughters of the KING!! These are the faces of the children who can and will change Kenya for the kingdom! So powerful !

Meet the Mendonsa's ( Bob, Julie, Emily, and Will )




i have been beyond blessed to call NV my second home. when i am not working at CURE you can usually find me at NV : ) ! The mendonsa's are so kind and loving and have not only offered their time and their lives to the children of kenya but to me as well ! 




The two beauty's below are my sidekicks Amy and Rachel.. they both have given a year to NV.  to serve the Mendonsa's, the kids, and they have become two of my dearest friends! : ) ! These two have been game changers for me in kenya.. they are a huge answer to prayer and i am so thankful for the big hearts they have to serve and love people !

NV is currently in need of sponsors. If you are interested in being apart of the NV family please e-mail rachel at rach.l.lewis@gmail.com here are all the ways you can help! 



sending major hugs and kisses from kenya xoxo
