New HCO Sign Board

In Kenya, it seems that sign boards are very important.  They are widely used for landmarks, as there are no street signs.  We finally have our sign board for the baby center!

One reason it took so long to get our sign board is that I was debating about it. Not so much about the design (thanks Angie Bare!), but whether or not we should have the sign at all. It could attract more people wanting assistance, etc. So many people in need, we are constantly approached to sponsor, support, etc. On the other hand, our neighbors already know who we are, so choosing to paint our sign board is just a reminder that we are there and a part of the community. And it is great to have when giving directions! So, considering each perspective, we opted for painting out sign with our HCO/HOH logo! 

Our staff LOVE the sign! They are taking great pride and ownership in the home and they feel good in being a part of something that is "real." The sign board, being so significant in Kenya, is a wonderful thing in their eyes.

Now, when YOU come visit us, you will know you are "home" when you see our beautiful sign board. :-)  So, karibu sana!!! (You are VERY welcome!)
