Some of our incredible Give Amore team! We are missing Bryan, Evans, Judith and Winnie in this photo!
Everyone wants me to summarize our trip. It’s SOOO hard to do! But I will try! This was another incredible trip to Kenya. Heather Duncan is an amazing partner and travel buddy. Our flights were fairly flawless and our luggage was not held hostage. :) Our team was overall in good health, as were we, but the real summary is this: TRANSFORMATION IS HAPPENING!!!
As I often say, we are blessed to get a front row seat to all Give Amore is able to do through your generous donations! Our trip consisted of a jigger clinic, a Made with Amore Graduation Ceremony, a party for the sponsored children, a blessing of well #20, launching a new Made with Amore product (that is sold out!), time with our team, church at Cornerstone Shibuli, beautiful afternoon rainstorms, home visits, school visits and so much more!
This video is the best way I can summarize our trip. So hard to narrow it down to 50 or less of our favorite photos, but I hope this gives you a glimpse into the joy, the hope and the love we all receive through Give Amore.
For those of you that generously gave toward our trip, here is a summary of how the funds were used:
