Soar Kenya

I just want to thank all the people who have helped with Soar-Kenya this year of 2008. Soar-K has helped in many ways this last year. First off, Soar sent app. 2 thousand each month to help with the food shortage caused by the violence. The cargo arrived after the violence and I can only imagine how welcomed those supplies were. Soar was able to continue sending 6 students on to further education. Soar built the dormitory and contributed to supplying it with beds.  The cargo will be supplying the library with books.  Harrison Agonda  ,(Children’s Charity Centre), relocated during the violence back to his hometown of Homa Bay. Soar managed to purchase some land for him to relocate to. Soar has donated 600.00 to the beginning of getting a crop planted on that land and also to the beginning of a poultry project. Soar continues to help Harrison and the orphans he is taking care of. Soar continues to need sponsors for the many orphans. Currently 9 orphans have sponsor who donate monthly. Pauline at Barut Primary and Nelly at Hopewell strech this money very far. The primary student being sponsored is taken care of and then the money seems to go beyond that student to helping their families and also the handicapped students at the school. I will be trying to record information on the students sponsored and also try to get a true picture of the students that need assistance when I travel there in Jan. I feel this is a very good project but I never want it to cause hardship with any of the donors here either. No one is locked into a contract when they sponsor a student, just help out as you are able to. I feel it is important also to know that no one in Kenya has ever asked for help with these orphans, that was Soar’s idea to begin this project. I will try to gather as much information I can when I travel in Jan. Another project Soar supported is the sanitary napkin project Pat Werner works on annually. These supplies help keep the girls attending school in 12 schools in the area now. There are many other projects and ways Soar has helped out in Kenya this past year. I basically want to thank everybody who has helped. Soar gave internet service to Hopewell for a Christmas gift so hopefully communication will be better in 2009.  I will try to post from there when Mary and I, Steve and Pat Werner ,travel there in 2009. Thankyou , Don Hoffman

Don & Mary and all the People of Soar-Kenya,

Merry Christmas! You are the biggest blessing that came into our lives. Thank you for being our true friends.  Thank you for the enormous support, especially when life became extremely difficult as in early this year when our country burst into violence. As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and savior tomorrow, I want to wish you God’s blessings and all the happiness that this world can give. I look forward to being at the airport, Don and Mary when you land and seeing you again. Thank you Soar-Kenya for the wonderful Christmas gift……a birthday present for me you sent through Nelly.

God bless you mightily and keep you safe always.

With love, respect and admiration.

We are soon beginning a rabbit project patterned after Heifer Project.  We will be providing rabbits to selected families who will later give baby rabbits to other participants in the project.  The second group will later do the same for another family, and so it  goes.
