Children
| Sheila |
 |
Hello, I am Sheila! On July 16th 2008, my new Mama (Mama Gudrun) received once again a phone call from the police. This time from Diani. Immediately, she sent my two new uncles (uncle Cosmas and uncle Saidi) to pick me up. Before that I had spent 3 days all alone in the flat and was crying a lot. Then, finally, my neighbour forced open the door and called the police. I have been held at the police station 3 times already. Each time my mother had abandoned me. |
| Daniel |
 |
Our little Daniel, only two 2 weeks old, came down with Malaria and was fighting for his life for almost 3 days and nights. We had been taking care of him around the clock and had given him food in short sips. Since he was very weak already - probably a product of being born too early - his little body could hardly cope with the drugs. He lost weight, since he was refusing food. But from the 4th day on he was accepting food again and his condition improved. Now he is completely healthy and requests his vial every two hours. |
| Stacey |
 |
On 29 January 2007, we admitted Stacey: Three days after Steven came to us, there was another appeal for help of the Youth Welfare Office. A young and single mother brought her little daughter Stacey (11 months old) to a neighbour stating that she could not take care of the little one anymore. The surprised neighbor was perplexed and informed the police. On the same evening, Stacey's mother was picked up by the police in a disco and was arrested. |

| Alina |
 |
On 12 March 2003, the youth welfare office brought Alina (about 7 months old) to the "Nice View Children's Village". She was abandoned by her mother but luckily found by people passing by who brought her to the youth welfare office. She was immediately examined by a physician, also an AIDS test was performed, which was unfortunately positive. We were deeply touched, she was the first HIV positive child in "Nice View Children's Village'. |
| Salim |
 |
Salim was amongst the first 8 children we accommodated in 2000. He was classified by the Youth Welfare Office as an orphan. However, since he kept constantly asking for his mother we started with investigations. After finding his mother, Salim was transferred back to his family. |
| Saumu |
 |
Saumu lived, after her parents died, with her aunt. After living in an impoverished life Saumu came to us with physiological disorders. She was very reserved never laughed. Her physical condition was also not well. On 13 March 2000, she came to us to Nice View. Now, Saumu is a friendly girl without problems and fears. She laughs a lot and plays with her friends. We are pleased that she is now so happy and carefree. Since January 2002 Saumu attends to a private school. She loves our babies very much and often plays in her spare time with them. |
| Suleiman |
 |
Suleiman, Mwanasha and Haji lived after the death of their parents with their sick grandmother. They lived under very poor circumstances and had not even a roof above their heads. Suleiman, who has never visited a school, goes since January 2001 to a private school. He has a sponsor, who knows him personally and finances his schooling. Suleiman has very good marks and his goal is to become the best in his class. In his free time, he goes fishing or helps our carpenter, as he likes to work with wood. |
