It is often so difficult to get funds for meals for all of the Live and Learn in Kenya Int'l children. During the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been even more difficult than usual as so many loving, caring and generous supporters are now in a position of anxiety and worry about losing their jobs and ability to feed themselves!
But Christmas is a time for caring and sharing - and although people are fearing for their own livelihoods, they were so generous again this Christmas season. We were able to feed all of the children in the two grades that were allowed to attend school in Kenya - and provide funds to the parents to buy food and soap so that even though hundreds of children were not able to enjoy school meals, they did not have to suffer hunger at home.
The holiday season's fundraising was a huge success! Writing to sponsors, social media, and raffles at a local store made it possible for Live and Learn in Kenya Int'l to provide a minimum of $37 to every one of the Live and Learn in Kenya Int'l's children's families. So there were smiles all over the slums as parents bought food and even some sweets for their family's holiday meal - and even enough to hold them through for a couple of more weeks.
When schools finally re-open in Kenya on January 4, 2021, we will be able to provide warm meals to every child 6 days a week - with your help and generosity.
Asante sana - thank you so much!
We wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.
