Overview:
This past
July 2012, the owners of Insurance Portfolio Inc. went to Nairobi and Bungoma
in Kenya to install 9 libraries, and delivered over 10,000 books. While
in Bungoma, which is the western part of Kenya near the Ugandan border, we were
shown a project that had over 100 orphans at it, whom all arrived at the
Archbishop’s home and church. Not wanting to turn them away, are in
desparate need of food, school supplies, and most importantly a school with
kitchen and dormitory areas. The children are presently being taken care
of by the Archbishop’s sister, Dorcas, and we heard her express their great
need. Monies for feeding have recently been provided by a grassroots
fundraiser, however, we feel that there is a great need for a school.
Education is a way to freedom from poverty. When asked, many of the
children will tell you they wish to be nurses, doctors and lawyers. To
whom is given, much is expected, and to whom even more is given, much more is
required.
