Victor settles in and Happy Birthday Papa

Happy and smiling, baby Victor bounces on Mama Sue's lap, eager to stand up and test his little legs.
He is our newest Happy House kid.
 He arrived on March 7, having been found abandoned in Malindi.
Children's Services asked Happy House to give him a home and, as Mama says, there is always room for another.
Estimated to be several months old he has been given October 20 - Kenya Heroes Day- as his birth date.
Amanda and Mark Barron, who so generously funded our computer suite, were asked to choose a name for him. They chose Victor which was the name of Mark's grandfather - so he is Victor Barron Hayward.
Harry, Emmanuel, Brian with Victor, Elizabeth, David and Esther.
All foundlings are in the legal guardianship of Mama and Papa and take the Hayward surname.
He is the 7th Happy House Hayward joining Harry, Brian, David, Esther, Elizabeth Anne and Emmanuel.
Here Mama gives us an update on Victor's progress.
We alway need new child sponsors for our Happy House kids It costs £20 a month to change a life.

Birthday Greetings, Papa Dave

Today is Papa's birthday.
He is Mama's love, her rock and her constant support. As she has said, so many times, "He is the wind beneath my wings".
When the road gets rough, he is the one to guide her along it, smoothing the way.
In the nine years they have lived in Kenya, he has become a popular figure in the area and well known for his negotiating skills and his passion for football - Leeds especially!
At Happy House he has his own little army of kids "marching on together" to his club's anthem.
Today, we wonder, will they change their tune for a Happy Birthday song?
We, your friends from the world over, have much pleasure, Papa, in sending you our very best wishes for a very happy day, and many returns.
