We will be having a meal after the service this Sunday at Carman Mennonite Church. Kyle, his Family, and a few other members of the church will be helping us serve soup and buns following the service, and all money we raise will be put toward paying for our volunteer fees.
The fees we pay are $1650.00 each and are divided between our host family (for our meals, giving us a home, and caring for us while we are in Kenya) and our project site - the school that we will be teaching at. Kyle and I have made a goal to raise $3000.00 together through community events that allow us to share our story of what we are going to Kenya to do, why we are going, and how important it is to us. We will try to update this site throughout our trip, so people can keep up-to-date on how we are doing with stories and pictures of our experience.
The craft sale in Thompson went well, but still have some ceramics and pottery left, so we may look into having another later on in Thompson, or possibly in Carman.
We are 25% of the way to our goal, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank our home communities and everyone who has shown us support along the way. We leave in 40 days, and we are getting excited and nervous. We trust that everything will be fine, but prayers are always appreciated.
Asante. (thank you in Swahili)
