Thanksgiving.

As the year nears its end we cannot fail to mention on this special day what a blessing it has been and what a fine way to begin our Thanks giving week! A whole suitcase full of: toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, colored pencils and note books from our friends Michael and Reva. Thank you, each kid at Red Rose School will get to carry some goodies home.

A person can be expressed by two beautiful words “Thank you", it is said that the two words are the top of all virtues in the world and because the two most important words in the English language. Our friends in the United States are celebrating thanks giving day and of course we have so much to be thankful for. Thanksgiving is celebrated all around the globe each year on the fourth Thursday of November and considered the most important holiday of the year.

We have met and bonded with many great individuals this year who have forged amazing friendships with us and always brought with them gifts that the children were always so ecstatic to receive; The Potomac School-young leaders in service team, teachers from the Norwood school, Rob Norton (our chairman) with his family and friends. LitWorld team visit who brought friends too and had a camp, Parklands Baptist for showing love and support mostly through giving so as to ensure growth in the local community, the St Lawrence team, all the amazing individuals and the Media for helping make it possible to make known what we do as an organization. We are happy to express gratitude and show how important your generosity and commitment has all been to the organization. 

It has been so much more than just material gifts. Opportunities make a child’s dream come true by providing them with education, being able to make new friends, always a blessing and expand opportunities for the children of Kibera. We have gained more knowledge through all our new connections, Meeting and keeping in touch through Skype calls has not only broadened the children’s horizons but the organization as a whole. The children have shared stories and experiences with other students all over the world. They have learned how to respect to others who have different cultures from them.  Huge milestone for we aim as an organization to help better the lives of the children.
