Miss Fashionista's shopping day

What do you get when you have 2 junior staff and a high school gal go clothes shopping for the six new children who came to live with you in one week? A LOT of cute clothes, and some VERY happy girls. Sarah Sabai is Miss Fashion herself, and is shown here putting a cute new jacket on darling Bahati, who came to us with only two extremely tattered dresses. Her sister Rhobi, below, also scored several cute shirts and pairs of jeans. We gave the older girls the equivalent of $10 for each of the new children, to head to the secondhand shops in town, and they came back with lots of great things. Sarah, who I'm so thrilled to have back with us at Angel House, has spent the last couple of years at boarding school. Since she graduated last fall and won't start studying again until sometime in the next year, we asked her to join us on staff. Her English is stellar, she is the best role model we could hope for, she leads worship and is the head of the church choir at our house, and has appointed herself my Swahili coach. She hopes to join the police academy in the late fall or in early 2011, but until then, I am so grateful God brought her back to live at Angel House.
