The Africa Experience has come to an End
It's been a while now since I've come back from Africa and I've been meaning to update the site ever since then.
First and foremost I would like to express my huge appreciation to all those who supported my fundraising endeavours that made the volunteer experience so much more meaningful both for myself and for the kids. If you still wish to contribute to Njaaga's Child Hope Home please do so either via the paypal account that is set up or by getting in touch with me.
Secondly, it goes without saying, but the trip and the volunteer experience were both fantastic. I loved every minute of it and every time I flip through my photos I wish I could still be there. Some time in the near future I hope to be able to put together a slideshow presentation from the trip that will incorporate photos, videos and music from Africa.
Finally I leave with you a letter sent to me by James Njaaga in which he informs me (us) that they had to move out of the current orphanage which they were renting and that they are in the process of purchasing their own building. If you wish to contribute more directly this is another fantastic way of doing so:
Jambo Kasia,
How are you doing? it has been quite a while since we communicated but my prayer is that all is well. We are all fine here at Njaaga Child Hope and all the kids are doing great.
We remain truly thankful for your visit and your support both morally and materially. Your compassion and kindness has made a very big and positive impact on the lifes of these children.
I just needed to update you on some important and urgent developments at the children's home. The current premises that we are occupying was up for sale and it has now been sold. We have a period of upto 5 months to come up with alternative and hopefully a permanent shelter solution for the children. We are now looking at various other options and we have already indentified a suitable alternative which is within reach of the schools that the children attend. We are currently looking for ways and means of raising enough funds to put a deposit for this land and house which amounts to USD90000.
We have made great efforts to achieve this and I started off by selling a plot I had here in the city and together with the contributions of my wife Lucy and our safari business www.planetkenyasafaris.com, we have raised USD20800.
We welcome your kind participation in this very challenging phase of our project. Any donations of any amount towards this can be done through the children's account which is:-
Njaaga Child Hope - Kenya Chapter
Kenya Commercial Bank - Moi Avenue
Account Number 234721640
Swift Code: KCBLKENX
God Bless you for all and please keep in touch.
Kind regards,
James Njaaga
