Hope for Tharaka

Hope for Tharaka! http://www.bnd.com/2012/04/27/2156871/return-to-kenya-brings-mccarter.html I recently had the privilege of traveling to Tharaka, Kenya, to teach at Mama Linda's Excellent Academy. The elementary school is part of Each One Feed One, Kenya, an organization that began working in Tharaka to provide relief during a severe famine and drought. My husband Kyle and I  built a health care clinic in Tharaka 25 years ago.  Each One Feed One, Kenya, is a ministry that provides clean water, food, medical care, and quality education to the people of Tharaka, Kenya.   Our team had the opportunity to bring medical supplies, doctors, and a dentist to work at the clinic.  The clinic is a vital part of the community since the nearest hospital is two hours away.  The clinic treated everyone including those suffering from malaria to Tharakans who were in the final stages of Aids. It was a a tremendous blessing to see the fruit a project I was involved in twenty-five years ago. Seeing the smiling faces of healthy children was priceless!
