Completing the Children’s Centre in Kenya
October 20, 2009
While we have been neglecting this blog, so much promising work has happened for the Children’s Centre near Nairobi, Kenya.
In June, the generous people at Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics made Hands Up for Africa one of the beneficiaries of their successful Charity Pot program. One hundred per cent of the price of every pot of this moisturizing cream goes to several charities that support environmental, humanitarian or animal rights organizations. Their donation to HUFA was directed at completing and outfitting Christ Cares Children’s Centre – the 17-year dream of Mama Mercy, our organization’s main inspiration. Our hope is that the Centre will be ready to house up to 20 orphaned and vulnerable children in 2010.
Thanks to the bore-hole-well donation from Planet Wheeler Foundation, the
drilling started in the spring of 2009; after a technical delay, we are finally in the last stage – building the water tower, bringing electricity to the site, and installing the electircal pump. Water is life, and it is coming soon….
