It is time for a 5th trip!

 It is time for a 5th trip to Kenya! Again, I will be  working with Acacia of Hope International  in  Kibera and Networks for Voluntary Services.

 Acacia of Hope International has continued their  sponsorship program, "Make a Change," at  Damside Preparatory School. This July, Needham  and I will be helping the school to paint their structure (made of tin and wood) and plan activities with the sponsored children throughout our time there. This will include conducting home visits with some of the sponsored students to continue to build a working relationship with them.

It is not too late, more girls are needing a sponsor. If you are interested in sponsoring a female student between the ages of 8-12, please visit Acacia of Hope International's website at www.acaciaofhope.org to sign up. You will be matched with a young girl from Kibera and it will change her life which changes her community one day! Be part of change and start by clicking the play button on the video!

We are collecting pencils, chalkboard chalk, pencil sharpeners (the kind that screw into the wall or side of the desk and have a turning handle- 3 of them are needed), and a few children's games such as Connect 4, Sorry, Old Maid, Go Fish, and a tic tac toe bean bag toss game. If you have any of these items that you would like to send, please contact me at jennifer.wiley1789@gmail.com

Stay tuned for posts from Kenya!
