Annual Gathering 2016

Thank you to those who joined us at the 2016 Annual Gathering held on October 24 at the Pourhouse in Minneapolis. Paula Meyer and the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation Board Chair from Kenya, Rajpreet Bains, provided program updates and shared stories of what our kids “can do.” Elisha can become a civil engineer. Michael can lead others. Winnie can read. Mary can transform her life. We are proud of our kids!

And just as our kids can do so much, we thank and applaud our sponsors, donors, and partners for all you can and have done. Your support has made education possible for nearly 400 children. Your support gives children the chance to say “I Can” both today and in the future.

A special shout out to event volunteers and to the band Six Still Standing for providing entertainment at this year’s event. We hope to see everyone next year!

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 lacey@ngongroad.org view complete trip details on Wilderness Inquiry’s website.

Pamela

Pamela joined the program in 2013. She lives 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.

Last year, she 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 differences among youth, and Pamela is an excellent peer example.
 
She came to Ohio for a year-long experience starting in mid-August, and she is doing very well. We are so proud of you, Pamela!
