In July, I had the most amazing opportunity to teach at KCC. I remember how the people I was working with - Marcus, Catherine, the teachers, and even other volunteers - never failed to inspire me. I got to see the joy of life and learn how to appreciate what I have so much more by just observing how the kids play and live their lives. On my first day, Marcus gave me a short tour around the slum area and I bumped into a man. "Jambo," he said. It means hello. He introduced me to his son and his brother, and then asked me, "So... what are we going to eat today?" I was utterly stunned. I'd love to help them as much as I could but I realised that my role back then was just to teach. I keep thinking about that question. There are thousands of people living in the slum area - many merely live on the breadline and some can't even afford to eat once a day. The slum area lacks proper sanitation and many children suffer from malnutrition & other illnesses. KCC ECD is here to help the kids get out of the poverty. We provide the kids with lunch & vitamins every weekday and teach them basic writing & reading so that they are qualified to enter primary school. We aim to nurture these kids to become hopeful & independent children who can lead a decent life. However, we need your help to provide them with necessary food & vitamin supplies, and to expand & build a primary school nearby. Please donate & help the cause! Any amount is appreciated! Thank you! - Willie Rush

Nelson Mandela once said "it is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in" Who am I: Hi everyone, I'm Vanessa. I recently chose to volunteer in Kenya and it was the best decision I have ever made so far in my life. I took part in an amazing childcare/teaching program with KCC, everything about this organization and the people i worked with was completely inspiring. I fell in love with these kids from the first day and i can't go knowing that i didn't do more for them. So, here i am, trying to raise some money. Why this project is important: Education is the key to help people and provide them tools for a better life. These children live in a slum, in extremely poor conditions. but everyday they go to school with a smile and they want to learn. Funds go toward: They will be used first for food, medical supplies, educational materials but also for construction of a school!! Any donations will be gratefully received and invested to get this much needed project going. Please, please, please help me make this happen. Every donation, big or small, counts! And please also help me to sharing this campaign on social. Because of your giving these children will continue to have this safe place to learn, play and grow in.

In one year I want to help make a difference in the KCC community and then end of next year actually volunteer there to see what progress has been made. To meet the children and families that we are helping. I will also document my travels, volunteer work, the KCC community through photography for every one of you that has helped them with my campaign. Can't wait let the journey begin! Soph.
