Koins For Kenya



I got an education degree to help those with special needs. Wether the needs be emotional, social or academically I wanted to offer specialized instruction and aid. My mom is friends with the founder of this program and as I read more about Koins for Kenya I felt like my aspirations in life were very similar to the mission statement of Koins. Koins For Kenya is a non profit organization providing education and educational supplies for thousands of children in Kenya. The villages served by Koins have no water, electricity or other modern facilities. They have done an incredible amount of work and service for the people of Kenya. Koins for Kenya splits project costs with the villages 90% Koins and 10% remaining from the village. You can go and teach in Kenya, help build schools and donate to this cause. You can donate $11 and that will pay for a desk. There are many more opportunities to provide support for these students. Go to koinsforkenya.org and go to tab titled "How You Can Help" and a list of opportunities will come up.

AJ you're real awesome. I want to go to Africa and play with their kids too, but I'm afraid I would really never come back because I would love it so much.
