Former President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday, December 24, presented Christmas gifts to children at various homes.

The former Head of State encouraged Kenyans to embrace compassion and sharing during this festive period.

“Once again Christmas is here; a time to remember and apply our shared values of compassion, sharing and communion. We share this holiday with all people of all persuasions because what we celebrate are cherished universal human impulses. Let the holidays bring us closer to each other so that collectively, we can lighten our burden and brighten our journey. Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year!” wrote Kenyatta.

In the photos shared on his social media, Kenyatta is seen feeding cake to the children and distributing food items, a tradition he has maintained annually.

Among the homes visited were the Mama Ngina Kenyatta Children’s Home, Mama Fatuma Goodwill Children’s Home, St Dorcas Educational Centre and Mary Faith Rescue Centre in Nairobi.
