March 2017 Trip to Kenya!

A few spots are still available for our March 2017 trip! Meet children in the program who are transforming their lives amidst daily hardships. Meet their parents and caseworkers. Visit a school, a home, the computer lab and library. Participate in Saturday program. And of course, go on a few safaris!

Friends of Ngong Road is partnering with fellow Minneapolis based non-profit Wilderness Inquiry to offer this incredible experience. The trip is 10 days – long enough to have a valuable experience, but doable for many working people or students. Trip cost is $3,995 plus airfare. To learn more contact [email protected] view complete trip details on Wilderness Inquiry’s website.

Pamela

Pamela joined the program after her father died and she moved to the Dagoretti area along with her mother, sister and brother. Pamela’s life dramatically changed, but she was consistently an excellent student with a smile that could brighten any room.
presentation1Last year, Pamela was encouraged by her classroom teacher to apply for the AFS-USA foreign student exchange program. After multiple exams and interviews, Pamela was ranked first in her county and accepted into the program! In her interview, she spoke about how much she values diversity and enjoys learning with people who come from different backgrounds than hers. The AFS program has been focusing on bridging cultural difference among youth, and Pamela is an excellent peer example.
She came to Ohio for a year-long experience starting mid-August, and she is doing very well. We are so proud of you, Pamela!
