Meet the family Musyoka

Musyoka was just a small boy the eldest of  three siblings who came into our family in 2010.
Their mentally ill mum was unable to care for them and they were following her from place to place with Musyoka the carer for his younger brother, Francis, and baby sister, Mwende. 
 After they had been with us some time we traced their grandfather who came to visit from his home nine hours away and they were able to build a strong and loving relationship with him . 
After six years they were able to go to live with their grandparents, to be close to their mum., but after two years returned home to Happy House.
In today's video Musyoka tells his story..




Thank you St Aidan's

Elizabeth Gomm, our Happy House Auntie Libz,  had a full day with students in St Aidan's CE High School in Preesall, Lancashire.
Four the fourth year running she had been invited to give a presentation on Happy House to each of the six Year 8 forms.
The students took a great interest in our children and the difficulties and tragedies they face before joining our family.
RE teacher, Mrs Diane Cox, introduced Auntie Libz and talked the youngsters about the meaning and importance of empathy.  
Auntie Libz took up the thread throughout her talk and it was clear from their response that the young people really could empathise with our own Happy House kids.
Thank you St Aidan's for having us back once again, for your loyal support of Happy House and to Mrs Joanne Rossall and K7 for sponsoring our the younger of our Stevies.
