My Story Contd

My Story and Unfolding Projects

Thank you for your interest in the charitable work that has caught my heart.  The beautiful landscape, kind people and abundant wildlife experienced in Zimbabwe in 2013, opened my heart like never before.  The need to get involved and help others was presented.

 

The first commitment was to keep students in school through funding tuition and necessary school uniforms.  Many children walk 10+ miles to school.  Education is a gift as many families cannot afford this privilege.  Sewpportive Friends mission and the bike program was the beginning of the projects yet to unfold.  

November 2024, I am grateful to have made my 23rd trip to Africa visiting Zimbabwe and Kenya.  It was my first trip to Kenya and met some inspiring new friends changing lives. 

 

The needs are great throughout the world.  Be kind and follow your heart in helping others.
