Celebration For Education:
Thursday August 7, 2008

The Benefit raised $25,000!

"The land purchase [for a new residence and school facility for the children of By Grace] is being made possible by the generosity of a few significant contributors. Special thanks go to Gary Kunath for jump starting the Building Campaign with a generous donation, and to Marian Nelson for conducting a fundraiser, called Celebration for Education, in August which raised $25,000 for the new facility and for basic needs at By Grace." - Fall 2008 Newsletter, click here to read the whole newsletter!

A Life-Changing Experience

During my two trips to Africa in 2007, I was extremely moved by its beauty and exotic wildlife. But nothing moved me more than the people and the plight of the children. I saw people in dire need, children without parents, food, a place to live, or any opportunity for education

I have become involved with several schools and have helped bring supplies, make desks and provide for the needs of some of these children. I’m personally sponsoring the education of a wonderful young boy named Brian. These accomplishments have motivated me to do even more to make a difference in the lives of African children. If everyone could help just one child, the effect would be enormous.

Come join me for a wonderful evening to honor the children of the By Grace Disabled & Orphans Centre of Kenya, Africa. We are so lucky to be able to share our prosperity and give to those in need. If you could just see those smiling little faces, it would change your life, as it has changed mine.

I will be making more details available in the near future. In the meantime, please feel free to call me at (415) 710-1116 for more information. You can find out more about By Grace Disabled and Orphans Centre at www.BrightFutureChildren.org
