Education For All Children (EFAC) is holding their first ever Mentoring Workshop at the African Nazarene University in Nairobi, Kenya. 43 Kenyan children who are currently receiving a scholarship from EFAC to attend High School will join together from August 28th to August 30th to receive leadership training and prepare for University. The children will meet with mentors to discuss any problems or challenges they are facing in school, learn more about the work of EFAC and hear from some of their donors through letters, facebook and video messages! I will be attending the workshop to meet the kids and report to you all the progress they are making. I hope to update this blog twice daily each day of the workshop and upload pictures of the kids. Internet connection at the University is not always fast or reliable, so please be patient if I run into 'technical difficulties' while I am there. I will also write a full report of my time and experiences in Kenya when I return early September. Join me on the journey and meet the kids whose lives are being transformed by donors all over the US!
