Open Letter from the Director of Project Kenya

This is a letter from Brydie Hill, Director of Project Kenya Charity, that we want to share with you.

“Hello-

Yes it is the week before Christmas and in just a few days we will be opening up presents, eating dinner with our families, and thanking God for our loved ones and for all that we have. For the past five years, I have been working (unpaid) for the hope in making a difference in the lives of some Kenyans and in the lives of some Americans. Project Kenya Charity is a volunteer organization that simply wants to teach, share, and help Kenyans so that they can “change their stars.”

This Christmas, Project Kenya and the children of Ribe, Kenya have a HUGE gift wish. We are trying to raise money to send a 40ft. container to Kenya. I did type 40 FOOT container! The cost will be $8,000 for shipping and taxes. We have already raised $3,000. Please help us bring this 40 foot container to Kenya. It will ship in early January and meet our Project Kenya missionaries in March (if we raise the money for shipping).

The village of Ribe, Kenya is very small and rural. Just imagine the faces of 600 children as a 40 ft container filled with books, school supplies, computers, tools, clothing, shoes, and much more arrives and is unpacked. Their faces alone will be worth every cent.

Please consider making a donation to Project Kenya, memo: container. This shipment is so important to this village that I will even come and pick up your donation. Just let me know when and where. Your donation is tax deductible through Project Kenya.

Lastly, we are looking for a few more items for the container as well. If you have any of the following please let me know and I can come and get it.

ITEMS NEEDED FOR THE CONTAINER
Gently used clothing
Gently used shoes
Adult bicycles (that work)
Sewing equipment and machines
Hair clippers for men
Push lawnmowers
Soccer equipment
Lumber
Tools-all types and kinds
Learning aids for the classroom
Photocopier
If you have other items you would like to donate please give me a call.

Have a blessed Christmas- and remember to pass this email and wish along!"
