In Kenya, “Easter eggs” is not a tradition, but eating eggs is a treat. So the Dominican Sisters have begun a tradition at St. Clare – an egg for every girl for Easter breakfast. This is one of the high points of the day for the children.
To share a little more of our American tradition, Sister Maureen, assisted by the newly hired librarian, Madam Mercy, and the rest of the sisters, taught the children the joyful art of coloring eggs. Included in the project were girls from class 4 through class 8.
In addition, some of the teachers also got involved in the festivities. 
Sunday morning there will be squeals of delight from the little ones, nursery through class three, when they saw the colored eggs. Indeed everyone at St. Clare Centre enjoyed a Happy Easter .

In Meru, Kenya, thousands of orphans and abandoned children live in unspeakable conditions on the streets, the victims of gross poverty and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. THE FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is a nonprofit organization formed to assist The Children’s Village in improving the lives of these children.
The Children’s Village is the inspiration of Fr. Francis Limo Riwa who in 1999 began to rescue orphaned and abandoned street children. Today the Children’s Village is home, family and school to more than 750 children, living on two campuses: the St. Clare Girls’ Centre and St. Francis Boys’ Home.
FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is committed to rescuing, housing, feeding and educating these abandoned orphans. Learn how you can support this effort.
