| Publisher Description: This book was created to help support the orphans of Saint Tabitha's House. Sales of new copies of this book will help to fund the orphanage and school. This is a story told through the eyes of the people who have helped build Saint Tabitha's House, a Greek Orthodox orphanage and school in Kenya. It is primarily a photographic record of the events which have shaped the community which supports the children in need. It contains comments explaining some of the happenings and significant people involved, the thoughts and feelings of the children, expressions of gratitude, and numerous letters of appeal from the children themselves. Saint Tabitha's House is run by Father Agapios Habbil Lipesa Omukuba who was canonically ordained by His Eminence the Most Reverend Archbishop Makarios the Metropolitan of Kenya. The orphanage and school has been placed under the protection and guidance of His Grace Bishop Athanasius Akunda. The book is divided into five main chapters entitled, "Our Family", "Our Education", "Our Community", "Our Faith", and "Our Home". It also contains information about how to contact Fr Agapios and how to provide further support to the orphanage and school. May prayers ascend before the Lord God for all those who buy and read this book.
