St. Clare Centre will be unable to continue competing in the tribal dance and sacred song competitions, as teams are required to travel a great distance to participate. Travel expenses have made it prohibitive for the St. Clare girls to continue participating. However, the girls have learned a great deal from interacting with the students from other schools. Competing has truly been a great learning experience in multiple ways. The girls worked very hard competing and showcasing their own tribal culture. Their hard work paid off as they won several first place honors throughout the competitions. (The photo was taken when the girls were competing in June.)
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.
