The Help Kenya Project
Teaming Up:
The
North Callaway Digital Outreach Program has teamed up with
Jude Ndambuki and his Help Kenya Project. North Callaway Digital
Outreach Program is planning on sending 40 Dell computers
to Kenya this summer.
Jude started the Help
Kenya Project in 2001 with a mission: to end poverty in Kenya.
People are able to donate clothing, books, computers, and
medical equipment to his project.
Local
Solutions to International Problems:
Through our contacts
with Lutheran Childrens and Family Services, we learned
the plight of Ming Aung. Forced to flee his native
Burma, Ming left behind a young family. Since his
exile, his young daughter died and he was forced
to grieve alone. Here is social
worker Sherryl Laws' description of Ming's life.
We were able to provide
him a laptop computer so he can interact with his
children half a world away.
Ming Update:
Ming
has gotten his "new" laptop.

New Friends
We
are now working with the Voluntary
Action Center and they have already placed 2 of our
computers; The first computer went to a diabled, single
mom with 5 children. The second computer went
to a family from Morocco with 3 children. Click here to
find out more about VAC.
What began as a
possible donation developed into a dialogue with the
city of Mexico, MO. Now, we are participating in their
Community Betterment drive.
