2015 Winter Letter from Paula

Paula
As I write this note, I am just about to leave for my 14th trip to Kenya since 2007 when our program launched.  While in Kenya, I will have many meetings with members of our team to discuss how the organization performed in 2014 and to agree on priorities for 2015.   I will meet with local funders and supporters and try to cultivate a few new relationships.  And on February 14th I will attend Peter Ndungu’s wedding to Phidilia Mwachala – my first African wedding.
