A Special Birthday Wish List

July 22nd is my birthday! I’m planning to escape Nairobi for Lake Naivasha to relax at Fisherman’s Campsite where they have delicious food (including great Swahili fish stew and chocolate cake) and monkeys that provide more amusement than YouTube. But I will really miss all you folks who are on the other side of the world – especially the drinks and gifts I know you would shower me with : ) But don’t worry, I have an idea on how you can still contribute to this special day. For example:
• If you are the lovely kind of friend that would take me out to the bar and buy me a drink, why not donate $10 to Emmanuel Center so we can buy another one of these really cool study books for the high school kids (the books are by subject and have practice exams and other fun stuff. The boys begged for them so I bought them the Math and Physics editions but we just don’t have enough for all the subjects. I would love each of the boys to have their own complete set of all subjects).
• If you are a close friend who is always so kind to buy me a gift, you could donate $40 to buy a goat, which the boys will have a lot of fun slaughtering and eating. Imagine it isn’t everyday you get to buy your friend a goat for her birthday!
• If you are one of my few rich friends or one of my relatives that spoil me rotten, you might want to donate $100 to help with the outreach center we are in the process of getting up and running.

I know this is a usual sort of Birthday Wish List, but I’m so happy to have this opportunity to spread some of my birthday joy to the children here. If you would like to share in the fun please donate online by clicking here (you will get to a donation page of Afretech Aid Society - the charity that supports Emmanuel Center. From the Fund/Designation menue select Emmanuel Boyz Rescue Center and fill in your gift amount. Afretech will send all your donation directly to Emmanuel Center.)
Thank you!
