There is still more building and work to be done, but The Women One Stop Center was officially commissioned on Life Bloom Services International's 10th anniversary! LBSI still needs to install the electricity to have the center fully operable and to put up a perimeter wall and gate for security purposes.
There could not have been a more fulfilling way to celebrate Life Bloom's 10th birthday, while marking the International Charity Day on the 5th Sept 2014. From Kenya, Uganda, Australia, and the United States, 87 women and 5 men participated in the 1st ever Grass Root Women Step Up Conference. For the first time at Life Bloom's activities, flower farms were represented by Finlays Horticulture LTD. A total of 17 groups participated at the conference. The big moment was the commissioning of 28 Mentors, and the Women One Stop Center, all officiated by the Nakuru County First Lady, Mdm Lucia Kinuthia.
On behalf of Life Bloom-Kenya, Catherine wishes to thank all who continue to support the program through donations, skills sharing, physical presence, cheering us on - especially when we have difficulty - prayers, and more. The first phase (though with a little bit of work to be done to be completed fully), could not have become a reality without all of your support. As we celebrate the women and the "miles" they have made, we celebrate each person.
