Jambo everyone!
Here’s REAL NEWS from REAL STARS .
We take this opportunity to thank God for good health and the August holiday that has just ended. Most of our kids were at home for holiday, the rest went back for holiday tuition. We have three school terms in Kenya. These are: first term, second term and third term. Each term has three months and a one month holiday follows thereafter.
We are happy because God is enabling us to reach out to many more children. Rose had a nice journey back home from Germany and we are really grateful to God for that.

Most of our kids reported back to school for the last term of the year. Each term comes with a number of school requirements for the kids. Our responsibility is to ensure that all the children's needs are met. We went to do shopping for their various school items. School fees was paid in time. We even accompanied some of them to school on the reporting day. We are delighted to inform you that all the kids are now in school. We always encourage them and advice them to work really hard.
Rose has prepared a short devotion on what she's been learning and would like to share it with us.
It’s found in Zechariah 8:23
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, "We shall go with you, for we have heard that God is with You”
It is possible for this God to be with a people and that is what we have been called into when we were engraved and joined with Him.
See what verse 23 says:
• In those days (we are in those days) • It shall come to pass-meaning it is divinely arranged that it shall be so
• Ten men not one or two
• Shall take hold-will want to connect with you
• Him that is a Jew (called out one-which you and I are by salvation
• We will go with You-not optional. They demand they must not be left. We will go is clear determination to join us-why?
• For we have heard that God is with you!
Get set this month to become an attraction by reason of God being and showing up in You. People will marvel at His doings in you and desire/demand to be connected with you!
This has began to happen and no better month to set this realization on course but in September.
At Real stars we carry out home visits to follow up on the progress of our kids. In the beginning of September, Natalie and Joan (Volunteers) visited Elizabeth Onyango’s home. She lives in Kibera slums with her father, her step mother and four of her siblings. They all live in a small single room house. According to our observation, there was only one small bed. We assumed that that was where the parents slept while the children slept on the floor.
Elizabeth and her siblings were the only ones at home during the visit. Their parents had gone to look for “Kibarua” (odd jobs to supplement their daily needs). They welcomed us heartily. We spent some time together with them and thanked God for Elizabeth's family.
(A happy Elizabeth smiling)

Charles cleared high school in November 2009 courtesy of real stars.
On the 13th of September Rose and Diana (Volunteer) of Real stars took Charles Kyalo to Rainbow Polytechnic located in Diguna Tinderet. He had decided to pursue a course in Electrical Engineering. Charles has a Kenyan sponsor. Joining college was going to be a whole new experience for him.
The Rainbow Polytechnic is known to produce very competitive individuals in their various fields of specialization. Therefore this was a perfect environment for Charles to acquire skills for his career.

As we were taking him to college, we noticed that the terrain was mostly hilly further into the Great Rift Province. Rift Valley inhabitants are mainly farmers. There were large tracts of land which were cultivated with tea , sugarcane , maize and wheat.
The journey took us almost 8 hours. It was quite tiresome but it was for a noble course. On arrival, we were received warmly and comfortable rooms were provided for us to ease the exhaustion.

We thank G
od for providing school fees, uniform and stationery for him. A content Charles was thankful for the support that Real Stars is giving him and promised to work hard. It's the greatest desire of Real stars to see Charles Kyalo excel in his studies.
On the day of departure from Tinderet, we could not help but smile with joy for having taken Charles to college.
God Bless You.
Shalom.
