Greetings MSCP Friends and Family,
I pray the Lord has been keeping and strengthening you in your noble ministries. We’ve been
blessed to begin this new quarter with continued energy and ongoing focus on gospel-centered
activities.
As is our tradition each holiday, we held a vibrant four-day Vacation Bible School, a week after
the children returned from visiting their families at home. It was a joyful time of teaching,
learning and fellowship capped off with fun and engaging play including both children and staff.
Read on to hear more about this and other updates from our ministry.

YEEEEY
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

When the Rain Almost Stopped Our Parade
The Storm No Forecast Predicted
Last Tuesday was supposed to be our anniversary celebration – 22 years of serving vulnerable children. We’d planned for months: tents, a stage, even a dance troupe from our youth group. Then the skies opened.
By 7 AM, our field was a swamp. Volunteers whispered: “Should we cancel?”
But then I saw little Grace (age 6) splashing barefoot in the mud, laughing like it was the best day ever. That’s when I remembered: Our home was built in storms far worse than this.
Three Lessons the Rain Taught Me
1. Improvisation > Perfection
We moved everything indoors. The dining hall became a concert space, the hallway an art gallery. What we lost in grandeur, we gained in intimacy – donors sitting cross-legged with kids, sharing stories.
📌 Leadership Takeaway:
“Crisis reveals character. Our team’s quick pivot showed me how deeply they live our mission.”
2. The Magic of ‘Showing Up’
107 people still came – soaked shoes and all. Oldest attendee? Mr. Otieno (84), who’s donated £5/month since we opened. Youngest? Baby Hope, orphaned last year, now thriving in foster care.

3. Rain Can’t Wash Away Legacy
That night, we projected videos of our journey onto wet walls. Seeing 2005’s crumbling building compared to today’s solar-powered dormitories? Every donor in the room wept.
What’s Brewing Behind the Scenes
- New Partnership Alert: Local tech college offering free coding classes for our teens!
- Urgent Need: Roof repairs after that storm (budget: £3,200) – [Give Here]
- Volunteer Spotlight: Meet [Name], the retired nurse tutoring our kids.
Parting Thought
As I write this, the sun’s finally out. Grace just handed me a crayon drawing titled “The Day We Danced in the Rain.”
That’s the secret, friends: Joy isn’t the absence of storms – it’s learning to sing through them.
Yours in service,
Tony

Amy House
The name ‘Amy’s House’ is in memory of Amy Welsh, a vibrant 20-year-old from Northern Ireland who died after a short illness in 2012. Amy had visited the project in 2011, fell in love with the children and was planning to return after completing university. Her parents, Bill and Karen, have been supporting the children in the house and have joined with us to raise funds for the building of the permanent property.
Sonia and Chris’ current work through Molo Street Children Project is involved with the direct support of 26 children, six of whom we house in foster care, with 2-4 others joining for various parts of the school holidays. The children in foster care are aged between 7 and 13 years. These children are either orphans or have untenable home situations which made it dangerous for them to stay with their parents or guardians. At present we are housing them in a tired wooden house. We are in the process of building a stone house on a plot of land that will be able to accommodate these children and offer protection for other children in need of short-term rescue and care
