Twenty little girls between ages six and ten will be arriving at St. Clare from an IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) Camp.  These girls have languished in the camp since the post 2007 election violence.  They will come to St. Clare with absolutely nothing except nightmarish experiences of the deaths of their parents in the violence and the abuse suffered in the camp.  The girls already at St. Clare will embrace the new girls as their new sisters, teach them the school rules, community expectations and assure that each little one will have what she needs.  While the four Dominican sisters and administration worry about where the basic essentials (underwear, jeans, shirts, sweaters, shows) will come from, the St. Clare girls know that God will provide donations for everything that is needed.
