OK, here's a chance ...

From Samuel in Kenya this morning:

"Dear Friend,

I went to Guruguru today to see our children and pay the school fees.

I found out that our children are not given porridge at 10:00 a.m. which is a requirement for all kindergarten kids and that the relief food was no longer coming to the school.

These children wake up in the morning and there is no breakfast at their homes they just go to school without eating anything and the porridge was helping them during the day.

A public school usually accommodates many children the teacher said they have 168 children and only two teachers to attend to this kids. Its real a mess.


I have an idea that if we can get sponsors probably we shall do much better for our children.

1. asked a pastor of a church to allow us to use their shelter for our children and the respond was good. We can use the facility until the time we build our own church.
2. We will need to get one teacher and one cook whom we can pay
i) teacher $65.00 per month
ii) cook $ 40.00 per month
iii) food and poridge can cost $375.00 per month

This is a suggestion and if our friends can commit to give then I can go ahead and start the school immediately. For the first month I have the money already.

If there is no good respond from sponsors then they will stay at the public school

The Lord bless you abundantly my friend
Samuel"

OK, so anybody want to be ridiculously generous?  Give me a call, and we'll do something really radical.
