We have the opportunity of a lifetime this summer. We will be volunteering at the Alego School which is affiliated with the non-profit program (501-c3), Alego Community Development Project (ACDP) in Kisumu, Kenya. Along with our work at the school in July, we are actively seeking donations to assist the program with the many projects that provide education and support to the community.
The Alego Primary School and the Priska Orimba Nursery School were founded by Henry and Grace Ouma in 1986 under the ACDP. ACDP's mission is to "establish long-term and sustainable community development projects in Alego, Kenya and surrounding areas in education, social and economic development, health and wellness and to empower residents to utilize local resources available to them to their fullest potential. Check out their website at: http://www.alegocdp.org/
The ACDP and Alego Schools have not had the benefit of outside volunteers so we will be the first! Mr & Mrs Ouma have 4 daughters who spend summers in Kenya and have worked tirelessly to expand the programs. The opportunity to volunteer came as a result of Tori’s mom working with Mrs Ouma who is a mid-wife and experienced HIV Nurse Specialist. Together, Mrs Winters and Mrs Ouma have worked in Africa training nurses to provide comprehensive HIV care and treatment. Mrs Winters has known about ACDP and the Alego Schools for many years and planned for this experience when she knew that we were committed to a career in education.
It is our dream to see that the children at the Alego Schools have the chance to receive quality education! Please join us in changing the lives of the children of the Alego School!
Donations can be made through PayPal which is located on the website or if you would like more information or have questions about our upcoming work, please contact us at:

Goodbye, or as they say in Swahili, Kwaheri !
Tori & Justine
