Day five in Kenya comes to a close

Today was a great day for KCF connections. We believe that God is leading us in a direction for growth. He has presented and continues to present Ginger with many opportunities to grow our network in Kenya. Please pray for continued expansion for the organization. With further development, we can enable KDS and KDSS to educate more children in Dandora which will empower more youth to become agents of change in both their community and ultimately the country and continent. We pray for the positive interactions today made with Kenyan builders as we hope to finish four more classrooms at the secondary school as well as expand to including boarding options for some of our children that are orphans or that lack safe home environments. We also pray that Ginger’s other connections within the Kenyan Government play out well for Kenya Children’s Fund.


Today was a great day at the secondary school. We were in the 7th and 8th grade classrooms again. Today we saw more success than yesterday in the implementation of new strategies. As an educator, I love being able to connect with the staff and children here on such a personal level. The teachers are open-minded, enthusiastic and receptive to our delivery and implementation of new teaching methods. The kids have been working well in groups as well. Tomorrow will be our last day at the secondary school before we return for the celebration and closing on Thursday. We plan to train the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade teachers and the social worker in both electronic report cards, as well as data driven instruction and implementation. We are so happy to work and serve in Dandora and so blessed for this opportunity.

We have an exciting weekend planned including a visit to the elephant orphanage, the giraffe farm, and a trip to Safari Park which includes tribal entertainment and a seriously carnivorous meal.  We plan to return to the open air market on Sunday and worship in Dandora with Katherine, the social worker, at her church.  We are so thankful!

As always, we appreciate your prayers and ask that you continue to pray.  We are specifically praying for safety, opportunities for KCF to grow, for the wisdom of the leadership team, and for the community of Dandora.

Love to all,

Jen
