Photos have arrived and we are pleased to share with you this weekend's delivery of emergency supplies to Kibera.
Felix (pictured in the long sleeve red shirt), Founder of Voiceless Children, was able to deliver some much-needed positive good wishes and supplies to grandmother families living in Kibera. His delivery bundle included flour, sugar, rice, bar soap and cooking fat.
He is pleased to report that all recipients were very grateful for the supplies!
For those of you who are not familiar with Kibera, it is one of several "slum" neighbourhoods in Kenya's capital of Nairobi. Kibera is the second largest slum in the world with nearly one million residents. It is the location of the urban grandmother family profiled in the documentary, "A Grandmother's Tribe".
Kibera, the size of a major city... with no public sanitation... has been dramatically impacted by post-election and ethnic violence. Women and children often suffer in silence during these times.
But today, you made a difference!! There are people in Kibera who know they weren't forgotten!
Thank you again, to all those who have contributed to the Voiceless Children Emergency Fund!
SPECIAL NOTE...
We have received a cheque for $1,000 US from the Elk Grove Rotary (US). That brings our official GRAND TOTAL to $2,520... 50% of our original target!!!
