Kenya 2005

The Christmas Story

In 2005 the Eagle Wing Team visited three orphanages. Those orphanages are not what you would find in the States. The buildings do not have a floor and children sleep on the ground. The kids are orphaned due to AIDS or from clashing tribes in civil war.

After asking the orphanages what they needed most they all said, "A Cow."
With a cow they can have milk, make butter, and sell the excess to buy other food products. A cow cost $500 and the Eagle Wing Team pledged each orphanage a cow.

Upon arriving home from Kenya, "The Saint Charles Journal" ran a story about John Hays about his experience in Kenya. Within two weeks enough money had been raised and today they all have a cow.

 

Now it is Christmas and the kids still sleep on the ground. A bunk bed cost about $100 and about 30 are needed. It is the prayer of the EWM team leaders that bunk beds can arrive on Christmas morning.

Three checks have been received. One lady gave a check for $50 and hopes someone will buy the bottom. The top bunk is only good if it has a bottom bunk.

Five beds have been funded. Will you made it six? Every dime given to this project goes directly to the beds. The money is wired to Kenya where Pastor Shem will make the arrangements.

Have some fun, buy a bunk bed for $100 and get a kid off the ground.
