Learning from/working with Labone’s youth
Local youth, Joseph, (left), told me how he has left home because of his parents’ dependence on alcohol. His younger deaf brother is unable to leave home and has to fend for himself. We taught them both sign-language. Here, Joe shows the sign-name our deaf students gave him.
On request, one of our mature Kenyan students, Boaz also spent two long mornings teaching nutrition and more productive ways of farming from the expertise he had in this area. We also shared biblical insights on enriching our relationships following requests for support from many youth, single, dating and married
This local youth, came to us to help treat his severe case of jiggers (tiny worms that breed under the toe and fingernails).
He later shared that although only about 1.4m tall, he was aged 20, a heavy drinker and rejected by his close family over ongoing disagreements. He was near starvation and his isolated, rundown hut(Page1) a haven for pests and disease).
A nurse on our team persuaded the local health centre to treat him. A couple from the team visited him most days to chat & bring food (not provided).
