Welcome

Again this year, volunteers will travel to Meru, Kenya to provide help and friendship to the people of Meru, Kenya. Jan Brockley is organizing the trip, and it will follow the proven formula developed during past 7 trips.

Our Goal is to empower and encourage the people of Meru, Kenya
with materials and ideas that assist them in improving their self reliance
and increasing their hope for the future.

We plan to do this by:

...providing goats, trees, vegetable seeds, and solar ovens. These are sustainable gifts that allow for an ongoing food supply. When the first-born goat is given away within the community, herds are built and milk, cheese, and meat will become a constant staple in their diet. Produce from the vegetable seed and trees can become a source of income beyond their consumption needs.

...holding medical clinics for the adults and children. These enable them to see a doctor and receive necessary medicine, perhaps for the very first time.

...taking school supplies to local schools. They help the teachers to prepare for classroom instruction, and assist in motivating their students to desire learning. Africans are beginning to realize the value of education, and it must be encouraged for their lives to improve. 

...giving time and kindness to all we encounter. These are gifts that cannot be measured, yet our experiences make it clear, we receive much, much more than we give.
