Jon Sharpe's Upcoming Trip to Kenya

In just a few weeks' time, Abby's husband Jon will be traveling to Ndhiwa, Kenya on a trip that will change lives - including his own.  He goes with the mission to build desks for the students in that village, and to teach those building skills to the men who live there.  While in Kenya, 2 colleagues with whom he travels will be taking video footage that will communicate to us the incredible stories of the people of that village.

It was several years ago that Jon first met a man from Kenya, Peter Midodo, who was traveling in upstate New York.  Peter spread the word of his dreams for the village and his hope to gain the financial support that would see those dreams become reality.  In response to the great needs that Peter shared, and with increasing excitement for the changes possible, Hope for Kenya was born.

Hope for Kenya is a non-for-profit organization that pledges every penny it raises to go directly to the work in Ndhiwa, Kenya.  They have committed to building a school open to all children, building a water tower and supplying clean water to every person in the village.

Next month, when Jon visits Peter and spends time at the school and in the village, he will have made a specific and tangible difference in the lives of children and parents.  In respect and support, we dedicate this blog today to Jon, and to the people of the village of Ndhiwa, Kenya.
