Grace Laid to Rest

Grace Mungai has been laid to rest. This was possible with the overwhelming show of support from all of you who responded and donated whatever you could to lay this woman to rest.This mother, friend of many and wife Grace, was buried yesterday at her Parents home in Kericho. The funeral was attended by a handful of family and a few friends. Grace’s funeral was modest as was the life she led.

The next chapter in this begins. Grace leaves behind a young baby, Brian who was still breastfeeding. Baby Brain needs milk, food, clothing and toys.

I would also be willing to donate again, when I can. Thank you for making a differnece in this little boy’s lfie. He surely deserves everything good the world has to offer. I truly wish that for him and more. He is precious. Lisa, California

Lisa, Thank you for your donation and your friendship to Kenya and more specifiaclly Brian. It takes a village to raise a child and I believe that in 2 weeks we shall look back and be proud of what the global village has accomplished in this regard. I promise to keep you informed on Brian’s progress. Thank you once again!
