Update on Arlan Mendell & Mark Hamrin in Nairobi, Kenya – On behalf of the Orphanages Of Kenya, we are thrilled to report that the fresh water well was drilled 574 feet with 60 gallons of water a minute. This was at a cost of $22,000 (raised from our Walk for Water in September 2015). An additional $6,000 was needed …

Well drilling equipment rolled onto the property and was setting up to begin boring for water. I wish I were there at this very moment to witness the sight. We have struggled for several years to bore a …
We are pleased to make some announcements to all who are involved in the serving of orphans. First, we have exceeded our goal to travel to Kenya in November with $20,000 for the development of a well and related construction.
