EAMO: Lots of kids, good food, beds, clean clothes, school & many soccer balls and a dog! What more can you ask for???
You see, Nathan built the pens and rented them out to all the other boys that were getting chickens from I don’t know where. So Nathan quickly saw that he could make good money out of Chicken Coup Real Estate. We just had to laugh at the whole thing. You will also see in the pictures many rabbits. This was due to me and Mum agreeing the boys could have one rabbit. Yep, you guessed it, there was more than one and now we have more than 15 rabbits. You may be wondering where the boys get money from to pay Nathan chicken/rabbit rent. Last year, along with 2 acres of our own Maize Corn, the boys grew their own Maize and sold it to our casual workers and our neighbours, so they saved themselves a few dollars, or shillings as it is here and brought the rabbits and the chickens with their hard earned money.

Swimming Pool !
Since now we have our own bus to take the children out on out-ings and sometimes to the hot springs where there are both hot and cold water pools where the kids have been learning to swim, the children have been pestering me to let them start dig-ging our very own swimming pool. I kept telling them that we need more buildings before we can even think of a swimming pool. After a long time they convinced me to let them get started! I thought, well it won’t cost us anything to dig a hole in the ground.

EAMO'S Jolly Barnyard!
I have inserted a few pictures of our “Jolly Barnyard”. This is some of our big boys delight. It all started with Nathan coming to me and asking if he could have some used wood and nails to build and small pen for some chickens. I agreed so he went and built him rough little chicken coup. The I found out that one of the other boys was getting a chicken given to him. I wondered where he was going to put this chicken and thought he would come to me and ask me for wood and nails like Nathan did. But he didn’t come so I suspected the chicken never came. Then I found out later that Nathan had built more than one pen and that we had many chickens down there and that Nathan was showing traits of becoming quite the business boy.

They say to me Dad, have faith that we will get money to build our swimming pool just like the purchasing of the property and the bus that we prayed for for some time. How could I refuse to let them start digging? Attached are a couple of pics of the big boys digging and the progress so far. You may think to yourself that that is a big job for them to do. Don’t worry, they just love to dig. We are currently digging a new pit toilet that goes down about 20ft, and they love it. In fact if I did not stop them from digging deeper, they would keep going!
