The Twins





Claire is a nanny from England in her early twenties with a beautiful accent! (If I could pick up her accent while I am here as well as learn Swahili, that would be great!) Claire has had lots of experience with children and babies and is currently keeping the orphanage running while Davona is gone for a few months. Almost two weeks ago, the mother of premature twin boys died in the hospital nearby. Instead of putting the boys in our orphanage nursery right away, Claire volunteered to keep them with her for the first couple of months until they grow and get stronger. When they came, they were a mere 2kg each! David and Silvamos are precious little bundles and I am greatly enjoying having them live in the apartment with us!
