Another member of the group of volunteers heading to the Children’s Village next month is Jack Horrigan. Jack Horrigan and children fit together on many levels. The oldest of eight children, Jack is the father of six, grandfather of eleven, and proud great-grandfather of one, Livi (pictured here with Jack). Jack has been a personal and financial supporter of the children at St. Clare from the very beginning. In addition, he was one of the very first sponsors. By going to Kenya, Jack will be seeing first hand what he has been supporting for the last six years.

ABOUT
In Meru, Kenya, thousands of orphans and abandoned children live in unspeakable conditions on the streets, the victims of gross poverty and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. THE FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is a nonprofit organization formed to assist The Children’s Village in improving the lives of these children.
The Children’s Village is the inspiration of Fr. Francis Limo Riwa who in 1999 began to rescue orphaned and abandoned street children. Today the Children’s Village is home, family and school to more than 750 children, living on two campuses: the St. Clare Girls’ Centre and St. Francis Boys’ Home.
FRIENDS OF KENYAN ORPHANS is committed to rescuing, housing, feeding and educating these abandoned orphans. Learn how you can support this effort.
