Larry Hohler gave an audio-visual update on the Jerusha Mwiraria Hope Children's Home in Meru, Kenya and the Hope Children's Fund that helps provide financial support from the US. He spoke of the Home's beginnings, the role and work of its co-founder, Joseph Kirima, and showed a portion of a video made this past February when a work group of 23 mostly LI students and adults visited for 2 1/2 weeks. He spoke of the growth of the Home from 18 children in 2005 to the current 79 and of the Home's outreach. Larry also played a video where many of the Home's children performed a gospel hip hop song alongside the visiting youth. The Home is working towards eventually achieving self-sufficiency mostly through its farming, but also via its new Technical Training Centre that will serve both orphans and neighboring children who might not be able to continue their academic educations beyond primary or secondary school, by teaching skills that can prepare them to become productive adults in their community. For further info, you are invited to check out the HCF website, www.hopechildrensfund.org, where there are a number of videos and many photos. You are also invited to "friend" Hope Children's Fund on Facebook, where you can follow the progress at the Home and learn of its link to SUNY Stony Brook. | | Posted by Yvette Hohler on May 21, 2013
