Kenya
Life is harsh in the Nairobi slums.
Hunger, disease and ignorance create a vicious cycle for the
children and families here. Yet despite these heartbreaking
conditions, it's still possible to make a difference.
"All the believers were one in heart
and mind…they shared everything they had."
(Acts 4:32) |
TRIP OVERVIEW
By partnering with an outstanding organization-Feed the
Hungry-Lifetree Adventure volunteers will work in Kibera, Nairobi's
largest slum, located just west of the city. The team will assist
with food drops, working with AIDS orphans and spending time at a
school that cares for thousands of children.
After serving in Nairobi, the Lifetree Adventure team will head
into the bush to extend the love of Christ to people whose most
basic of human needs often go unmet. Foremost of these needs is
access to clean drinking water. That's something we take for
granted in the US, but it is a precious commodity in many locations
around the globe. One of those places is Kitui-a village some 80
miles from Nairobi-and that's where Lifetree Adventures will be as
you help with life-saving water purification projects.
The name "Nairobi" comes from the Maasai phrase Enkare
Nyirobi, which mean "the place of cool waters". The service
you render to the Kenyans you meet through this Lifetree Adventure
will be received as cool waters to thirsty souls, and you yourself
will also be refreshed.
"This experience really stretches
your faith."
