When I joined the Peace Corps in 2005, I knew that I would travel and live in Kenya, but I did not realize where that journey would take me. During my time there, I worked closely with a children’s orphanage. These kids did not have families or money and unlike in the US, high school education is not free. Who would care if these kids go to school or not?

I cared and continue to care. I believe all children deserve to have their basic needs taken care of and access to education. I have since created a US non-profit organization to help vulnerable children in Kenya. Over the years, my organization has helped provide secondary or trade school education to over 60 students! The cost to support a child is about $650/year- which covers school fees, uniforms, books, and boarding fees. The more funds we raise, the more children can receive the support they need!

Kelsie and I will be traveling to Kenya in November and I would love to deliver the news that all of our current students are ensured another year of school and that we can help more students!
