Adriana Prieto is now back in the developed world after working with our family as a volunteer.
A graduate, from Mexico, Anna is in Florence where she is hoping to start her career.
But, she says, after being at the Happy House life will never quite be the same again:
"After three months
volunteering at Happy House, my life changed.
Now I'm back to my “normal” life in
Florence, but after being part of Happy House family nothing will be the same.
Those kids are part of me.
I lived for three months in Watamu, Kenya, spending most of my time in Happy House, but meanwhile I had the opportunity to get to see it from the inside and also to get to know other local children's homes.

The Happy House is unique.
It is really sad to see how the other homes
struggle day in day out because of their lack of structure and organization. And
also because a bad use of economics resources.Friends of mine in Mexico ask me how and where they can send help, my only answer is: Happy House.
Why? Because I trust Mamma Sue and her staff. I know all the help you send you will see there, at the Happy House, in those kids.
Kids who, every morning, wake up with a smile, excited to go to school, eagerly learning everything from French to music.

Happy
House kids are kids like you and me, kids who are ready to go out to the world
and who have the same opportunity to get a job, and that is because the preparation
that Happy House is giving them. No difference.
Today everybody in Watamu talks about Happy House as the best social project… and they are right.''
