Our Journey Newsletter - January-February 2016

Dear Friends of Our Journey,

Thank you for your prayers and support of the Sunshine School Challenge in 2015. Our Journey’s goal in 2016 is to support all 106 children at the school with uniforms, school supplies and a meal a day (for most their only meal). We are almost half way there! The Sewing of 46 Sunshine School uniforms have been completed.

Please Give Our Journey a Helping Hand and take this CHALLENGE in 2016! Across town from Nakuru, Kenya and out in the country a bit, are two schools run by local Kenya Pastors David Kinyanjui and his wife Anne Kinyanjui in Njoro--Sunshine Academies A & B. 106 children here are being given a chance to live by learning the basics in education--ABC's and 123's. Whether they have uniforms or not OR shoes on their feet or not, children are welcomed to come and learn at Sunshine. Most cannot pay the even minimal cost of 100 shillings per month (that equal to about $1) for their tuition. They are never turned away though. Many of these children are orphans living with elderly ladies in the local neighborhood. The meal they receive daily at school is the only food they eat most days (food is a major reason many children even become interested in education--they just want to eat!) It's our dream to help these children by offering them something better. Better resources, new uniforms for all (uniforms are standard and required in all of Kenya schools). If you can't tell, Sunshine Academy is on our heart. We are wondering if any of our supporters would take a step of faith with Our Journey in 2016 and sponsor one of these 106 children over the next year. One dollar a day. That's it. That's only $365. Most of us in the US waste that kind of money at fast food restaurants or on other things we don't really need. I promise you the money isn't wasted and ALL of it will go to support these children and their school. No donation is too small.

Our Journey is helping to break the cycle of dependency, one woman at a time. We were able to hire these women from Pastor Ken and Mary’s Sewing Training School to make the school uniforms for Sunshine School. In 2014 Our Journey funded/supported this sewing project … great job ladies
