If you have ever wanted to experience first hand the difference one person can make in the life of an African woman or child, we have a wonderful opportunity to tell you about. Reach the Children, a non-profit organization that has been making a difference in Africa for the past fourteen years, is preparing for an expedition to Western Kenya on October 21 – November 6.
.
The team leader for this expedition is a friend of ours, Patty Liston. Patty is the Director of Woman’s Initiatives for Reach the Children, and has been to Africa over 15 times. Patty will be working with Jastus Suchi, the Reach the Children in-country director, who is also a stake president in Kenya. Together, this October team will help facilitate the needs expressed by the people in 3 rural communities. Some of the projects will include the following: holding medical clinics for children who seldom see a doctor, teaching square foot gardening so mothers will be able to feed their children, establishing a poultry project as a business for women, working in schools, teaching sewing skills, playing games, and helping orphans.
.
This is a life-changing experience for everyone who has ever participated. Requirements to participate are simple: a willingness to serve and hands for the work. There are still a few spaces left to complete this team, so if you are interested, please email Patty Liston at patty_liston@yahoo.com. She’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Patty loves sharing this incredible humanitarian experience with others, and will take very good care of you.

Patty is a remarkable woman who has a huge heart. She needs help. Please email her if you want to know more.
