Real News from Real Stars
Happy New Year!! We thank the Almighty for yet another chance to share with you about His blessings upon us. We hope that you had a wonderful festive season and have now embarked on business in the New Year with God’s blessing. We take this opportunity to thank God for good health and a nice holiday since most of our kids were at home for December holiday.
2011 has started and we give all Glory to our Almighty for bringing us this far. We are glad that this year we watched more children go back to school; join new classes and new schools depending on their levels. The children who had completed primary education have now successfully joined high school and we really thank God for the support you have given to them, we are just but stewards of the funds you give us and we can’t help but rejoice with you when the children succeed. The children expressed heartfelt gratitude and together with us continually pray for you.
The month of January has started on a busy note. Our children were going back to school and things were hectic for us because we also had three form one students who were reporting in high school. We had to do shopping for them, make payments for their school fees and met all requirements and by God’s grace we managed to get all that done and the children reported to school on time. Now that all the kids have gone to school we are embarking on office work and home visits.
God also blessed us with several visitors in the month of January, we had Plettenberg Charlie and Mary who partner with us in Germany, they do our accounts back in Germany and it was nice being with them. We also had Tracy from United States of America, who came to see what we do at Real Stars .We visited some families in Kibera with the visitors from Germany and they were happy to meet the families and to hear our success story. We visited a home of one of the children in the programme. They were so happy to meet the family and were surprised how ten people could squeeze themselves in one single room, all the same the family was so happy and appreciated for the support they were receiving from real stars.
Biftu Wako
Veronica NdukuIn the month of February we had Biftu Wako and Veronicah Nduku reporting in form one at Kaliluni girls high school in Machakos and Daniel Mboya in Makueni boys high school, this is going to be a new experience for them and we know they are going to enjoy it. It is our greatest desire as Real Stars to see this students excel in their secondary school education and even make it to university level. We hope to give them all the support they need and together with our partners and sponsors we pray for their success.
The weather has not been bad this year and we thank the almighty God. We have been having rain which brings a smile to our face. Though there was a stretch of weeks in which it was exceptionally warm, we thank God for good harvest in relatively most of places in Kenya. We pray that the weather will be manageable for the rest of the year.
OUR REAL STAR FOR JANUARY-FEBRUARY MONTHOur real star for the January is Daniel Mboya , a child who has overcome all the barriers of poverty and all that comes with it and has emerged as a star not only in their village but in the country. Mboya is born in a family of two living in Mwingi district, eastern province of Kenya. He is the first born in the family.The father is believed to have died because he was HIV positive. Daniel knows both poverty and stigma that comes with HIV/AIDS but against all the odds, he sat for his KCPE examinations in November 2010 and managed to score 404 marks out of a total of 500 marks. This is an excellent score and Daniel has not only done real stars proud but also the parents and the country.

We really appreciate the sponsors for work well done for were it not for their support, may be Daniel would be home or even a destitute somewhere. Daniel has now enrolled for his high school education in one of the best schools in the country; Makueni Boys High School, where we pray that his dreams will be achieved. When a life is touched and we hear a success story from one of the children, we cannot help but thank God that he used our lives to be a blessing.
Bravo Daniel for shining in the darkness and making us all proud!!

DevotionA brief devotion from Rose ...It is great to focus on what the Lord is doing around us. He is indeed at work and wants us to join Him. What a privilege! In the last few months so much has happened and I have realized all I need is to grow in Faith... For whoever would draw near to God must believe He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. This is why we need to seek Him. I am so thankful that this year has begun with showers of blessings. All our Kids were able to go to school and all the school fees have been paid this is indeed a reason to thank God!-- Today, I want to serve Jesus in a beautiful way!
