"It's been less than 3 years since my first trip to Kenya. On this date in 2007, I would never have imagined that I would travel to Africa, much less the impact that hastily planned, last minute trip would have on my life. The people of Kenya endure much hardship, yet many are filled with a joy not often seen in our culture. It didn't take long to figure out that a big difference is our self-reliance and their reliance on God. God has called us to be his hands and feet, providing for the "least of these". At Project 82 we have all been touched by the plight of the many orphans in Kenya. I'm so grateful that God is allowing us to participate in His provision and I can't wait to see the smiles and feel the tender hugs of the children we will meet."
