Harrison Agonda- Runs Children’s Charity Center -Homa Bay -3,150.00 This went for school supplies, security gate, furniture for orphanage, building repairs,seed money,trees,chickens,operational license,etc. Harrison and his wife run this and the orphanage has about 30 children now. The school has over 200. I receive very few pictures and I know its difficult as Harrison needs to travel to get to a cyber-he has promised pics and receipts of the furnishings, chicken project and buildings he has been working on. Last year we dug the well and began building projects.
Nelly’s orphanage-4,990.00 Soar paid salary’s for the first 8 months. Bought beds and tables ,etc. put in a orchard and gardens, paid for food and medical. The needs are huge here and Chris Dupre , The Werner’s have contributed to the house rent, electric bills, etc. Nelly does not have permanent sponsors and this will be a struggle for her to maintain. She has 20 children now. Nelly followed her dream and sponsors are needed. She is doing a tremendous service. If any group would like to help by providing funds, ordering uniforms for the older children, just let us know. Thanks
Freedom for girls-1,030.00 This is Patricia Werners project. I believe truly that this project is the most important of all. It keeps the girls in school and that will change their future and the future of the country. Pat works with HEART and the Lions Club along with Rotary to implement this successful project. It keeps growing!!! Why not?? 5.00 supplies one girl for one year with pads and underpants. I do not think there is a better value in the world! It is a very important project and Soar wants to be able to increase their contribution to Pat each year. Pat began with supplying one school and I believe this project now supplies over 40 schools.
Raphael 250.00- A Catholic priest that spoke at St. John’s Church a couple of years ago. The Council of Catholic Women of Verona contributed to help him provide school supplies.
Kitchen at Hopewell Highschool 490.00- This is a project Ruth and Steve Gibbs hope to see to completion. The ground was bought and the foundation raised but we haven’t seen any progress since. We are hoping that a more practical top can be added to get this to a usable state. Over 500 students attend Hopewell and a decent kitchen would be an awesome asset.

Stamps,registration,domain name,web site charge,paper- 156.00
