Kenya Education Scholarships

Hi folks,

It is interesting how things always look so easy but in reality are not so easy. I have been trying to post pictures to this blog without any success. Very frustrating!!

As a result I will continue without any photos until such time as I am able to figure out what I am doing wrong.

Today is a day of asking for money. Jeana and I are in the process of raising money for scholarships for our 1000 students!

We spent a lot of time figuring out the real cost of educating and caring for a child for one year. The amount totals $150 per year. Hard to imagine but true.

With this amount we are able to provide books, uniforms, food and medical. You may ask why this is so much less than some other folks. Really simple, the only overhead we have is our office. Because we work with the local community and utilize teachers who are paid for by the government our costs are considerably less.

It is always hard for us to request donations even though we know our work is undeniably worthwhile and life transforming.

Please remember the children we work with count on you!

Thank you!
