Ron and Ronda Addison: Little Lambs
Little Lambs is a community based orphan care program. It is a daycare program to help some of the nearly 2 million Kenyan children orphaned by AIDS as well as the poorest of the poor. Missionaries and nationals work together to provide a place for these children to receive consistent, loving Christian care. The daycare settings are in private homes as well as churches and buildings constructed specifically for Little Lambs.
Children are provided with one meal a day plus a snack. They are taught basic reading, writing and math by skilled teachers. Appropriate age-level information and education on AIDS is given. They are provided with school uniforms and supplies, clothing, shoes and medical care when funds are available. They are in a safe, loving environment where they are free to play, sign, and be children. Most importantly, they learn about God's love for them through bible teaching and the love shown to them by staff. Currently, there are three centers totaling 101 children.
Ron and Ronda Addison are U.S. Project Coordinators for Little Lambs, serving under AIM (Africa Inland Mission) for 11 years. Four of those years they lived in Kenya serving at AIM's International services, located at Wilson Airport.
