Shoes for Souls!

I have to give a BIG thank you to my friend and Kenya's former Kindergarten teacher, Sue Jeffer, at Desert Willow Elementary School.  She championed the cause for children here in Kenya to get shoes on their feet. Desert Willow students and teachers raised over $300.00 for shoes!!

The shoes we buy will help protect children from thorns, rocks, cold, mud, and most importantly, the jiggers that can get into their feet, cause pain, infection, and for some extreme cases, death.

As a part of the fundraising effort at their school, our friend Jason made a terrific video with Howie & Kenya. Thank you Jason!  If you haven't seen the video yet, click here:

Thanks so much to those of you who contributed, and for making a difference. We have now raised over $700 for shoes, and will start the first phase of purchasing and distributing shoes next week. We will post updates and pictures soon.

If you'd still like to contribute, you can click the "Donate" button on this page. All donations are made to "Reaching Beyond Ourselves", and are all tax-deductible. Receipts are generated at the end of the year.

On behalf of the children of Kitale and surrounding areas, Asante Sana!!  Thank you SOOO much!!

For Him,
Amy & family
