When
my daughter Val volunteered in Kenya for six months in 2010, she spent time at
the IDP (internally displaced persons) camp at Maai Mahiu. Most of the homes
were still tents held together by sticks.
However
she was able to witness the opening of Southern Cross Academy.
When
she and I returned to Kenya in May of 2013, there had been many changes at the
camp.
As
well as at the school.
Here
it is 2015 and improvements have continued.
Through
generous donations, the school has increased the number of classrooms it has.
Still the need is great. One can’t look at these faces though and not be moved.
Kids are kids no matter where they live or what their circumstances are. All
any of them need is a chance.
