They receive letters, postcards, encouragement and love from their sponsor friends who although, they may live far away, include their Happy House child in their lives.
It is extra special when a sponsor is able to visit.
Deborah Ferrari from the Italian town of Cirie is back in Watamu and top of her list of places to visit and people to see were Happy House and her sponsor child, Fred Safari.
Deborah was thrilled to see how Freddie had grwon since her last visit and to catch up with his brother and sisters, Mariam, Suleiman, Saumu and Rosie.
"I am happy in my heart to see Fred again," she said.

Emmanuel "doing well"
Baby Emmanuel is "doing well" in hospital. The pediatrician is having difficulty sourcing the hypoallergenic formula milk that he needs and is now hoping she may be able to get some from Nairobi.
In the meantime, he remains on a drip and is "doing well".
Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers. Please keep them coming for the fragile child.
