There are always challenges in starting something, keeping it going and nurturing it to grow.
In all three stages of development, we’ve experienced hardship - but we have never wavered in our commitment to keep going.
When we are part of something in a different country, where there are massive cultural differences and differences in opinion, it’s important to understand, our role is to support their ways fully and unconditionally.
For example, it is culturally inappropriate to create a program like the Wildlife Conservation Resource Center (in Laikipia, Northern Kenya) that caters to the needs of children, and IGNORE that a fundamental need for these kids is food.
We are obligated to feed our children and it’s a responsibility we assume, that is part of the “resources” we provide them through our program.
• Food is not an incentive.
• Food is not a used as a motivating factor for their participation.
• Food is not used as part of a barter system.
Even when food is scarce, the children still show up. So do our two local heroes, Kelvin and John, who make it all possible.
Sometimes, It’s Back to Basics
To sustain and grow our programming, we often have to make tough choices. And sometimes, that means going back to the basics — putting everything we have into simply making sure the children are fed.
It costs just $100 a month to provide hot, fresh meals for the children in our program.
