Several of the boys at Talents Children’s Mission in Elburgon, Kenya are graduating from their colleges this summer, leaving the home to find work and start their own lives. This is a major milestone for them and for the staff at the home. On 5th May they held a celebration at the orphanage to mark the event. This was attended by local government officers together with extended families and guardians. You can view a video of the event below.
