Carla Helmuth hasn't added a story.
This year will mark my 7th time in Kenya. My first trip being in 2011. From my first time there until now it has always felt like home. God has defiantly called me back each and every time. Over the years I have done a few things with the school but in the last years I have been working in the library that was started at the school. Only about 3% of schools in Kenya have a library for the kids. It has been exciting to introduce the kids to books, puzzles and great activities that have help learn and grow and see the creative side of life.
When I head back May 10th I will once again be working in the library with the kids. This will be my main role. I look forward once again to working with the kids. Spending time with them in the library reading and doing activities with them. Much of the learning in Kenya is done by memorization. In the library we try and show them ways to learn using there minds and there creativity. This is new for them so it is fun to see their minds grow in this way. I also look forward to being a support for these kids. Someone to talk to if needed or just someone to sit with on a bad day. The school is a boarding school so most of these kids are at the school for 3 months at a time without seeing their families. Over the years I have had time to get to know many of these kids and have seen them grow.
Of course with spending six months in Kenya requires funds. Something I can not do on my own. Over the years God has blessed me with wonderful supportive friends who have given generously. Once again I seek your support. The money I am looking for will go towards my living expenses and travel for the time that I am there.
Do to some unforeseen delays I will need all my funds by April 20th. I thank you in advance for your wonderful support over the years and in the future. My life in Kenya is made well but your support.
Thank you in advance.
WHO WE HELP
Impact Kenya-PACE helps vulnerable children from across Kenya and Africa receive quality education and also trains pastors to serve everyone in their communities better.
WHAT WE DO
Impact Kenya-PACE serves the community through PACE Schools, pastoral training, food and healthcare, and a Leadership Summit.
PACE Schools offer affordable, subsidized education to over 400 children in need from nursery school through to high school graduation. Many of the 42 tribes in Kenya are reflected in the student body, as well as children from many of the twelve countries making up the Great Lakes region of East Africa. Students also receive health care and food.
PACE also operates the Pan African School of Theology (PAST), an accredited, degree-granting Bible school for pastors who want to improve their education and expand their ministry. Because it can be difficult for pastors to get to the main PAST campus at PACE Ministries, there are five local centres throughout Kenya. During the two years pastors study at PAST, they are also trained in vocational skills that allow them to supplement their family incomes while attending school.
Pastor Wachira, the head of PACE, hosts an annual African Leadership Summit in Nyahururu. African leaders from the East, South, and West are invited to attend. During this week-long summit, attendees deal with issues that affect their lives, issues most are not free to discuss in their own communities. The participants also tour PACE sites and projects, and spend time with local pastors.
