2018 Happenings
- It’s only March, but God is already pouring out his blessings. We pray that He continues to bless you and Give Amore this year.
- Give Amore has completed 2 new water wells, bringing the total to 11, with another funded and about to begin!
- We have now brought clean water to 23 of the students in our orphan sponsor program. There are 16 students who still do not have access to a clean water well and we pray God will provide a way to bring water to their villages! Wells cost $2500 and provide so much more than just clean water.
- Give Amore added 2 new students to our orphan sponsor program bringing our total to 38 children! We have 7 more still on our waiting list.
We are going back to Kenya in June!
I am so excited to be joining Christa again this summer on my 2nd trip to Kenya with Give Amore. We are thrilled that 3 other people will be joining us including Tara Vafadari from El Paso, Texas, Christa’s daughter, Camryn, and Camryn’s best friend Jordan. These beautiful ladies have such a heart for the Lord, immeasurable energy and are ready to serve. I can’t wait to share with you how the Lord has used them for his Kingdom when we return.
Our trip is scheduled for JUNE 16-30, 2018 and will cost approximately $3000-$3500. We will visit the Give Amore community in Kenya, love on Cornerstone School children, help with the monthly food and supply distribution for the orphan sponsorship program, shop for fabrics for our sewing program in open-air markets, visit an elephant sanctuary and more. If you would like more information about joining us on this trip, please contact heather@giveamore.org.
I am still in awe that I get a front row seat to what God is doing in Kenya through Give Amore. Thank you, dear partner, for following us on this journey. It is incredible.
