Our Club Eases Hunger in Kenya
Cheryl Kirby-Stokes reported to the club that monies earned from the sale of Kenyan baskets was used to buy 7,000 pounds of grain to help feed the people of the villages that made the baskets. Elephants had destroyed the local crops leaving an already impoverished people with even less. Our club has been very supportive of Cheryl in her endeavors there and she wanted to let us know how that has translated into some very needed and humanitarian efforts. I am often asked what Rotary does, well here is one good response. Thank you Cheryl for the report and your continuing efforts in Kenya.
