St Stephen's orphanage in Nakuru, Kenya sends thanks

James Mogondo, the director of one of our orphanages, in Nakuru in Central Kenya sends his thanks to Changing Worlds volunteers.

He writes:
'Hi David,

Hope you arrived well. The volunteers are doing well despite the long drought.

We welcome volunteers to the orphanage and regard their support to the less fortunate children. So far, it is a warm acceptance of their goodwill, for supporting the orphanage as individuals or as corporate groups. St. Stephen has various need s ranging from basics to medical care because we have children who are HIV +ve. The volunteers have bought mattresses, bicycles and other scholastic requirements that have afforded a smile to the faces of the little ones.



Following the recent post-election violence witnessed in 2007 the plight of orphans is on high rise and St. Stephen has been approached for the support of the children left vulnerable.

As a charitable institution we welcome all visitors with open mind and call for team work as we aspire to achieve the vision of reaching the unreachable and voicing the voiceless.

Thank you
James


St. Stephen'

Thanks goes to James for making our volunteers so welcome and more importantly, working so hard for the children.

Hi,
I visited St Stephen's Orphanage and helped out for a week or so last July with another organisation and was wondering if you have an email address for James Mogondo so I can see how things are with him and the kids?
Many thanks
