Rukia's School
December 1We've had a wonderful time reconnecting with Rukia, the headmistress of the school we are assisting here in Garissa. Seeing some familiar faces and of course, those beautiful African children, has warmed our hearts.
They even arranged a special birthday party for me. How sweet is that!

Rukia And I With The New Sewing Machine
We were able to present them with the sewing machine from our fundraiser this past summer much to their surprise and delight.
They are asking for help to build one small classroom which would allow the previous grade-3 students to continue with their education with Rukia and her teachers instead of trying to find a way with the government school system.
Some of these students are showing up at Rukia's school daily because they miss everyone and feel that they don't fit in well in the other system. They also come hoping to be fed.
We are pricing out this small building project to help. If anyone would feel to donate towards helping these African children at this time of need, it would be most appreciated.
Donate to help kids. Together we can make a difference!
