GIFT FOR YOUR SPONSORED CHILD

LAST CALL
There is nothing more gratifying than the smile of a sponsored child receiving a gift, a letter with pictures, or other personal item from their sponsors.

The children love receiving a letter and photo from their sponsors.  They are eager to write back.

Your student wants to know you and about your life. They absolutely light up when they realize you have sent something personal to them. Our main shipment of donations is already on the way to Kenya. If you have missed this deadline, you still have a few weeks to get something to Michelle that can be given to your child. The final deadline for items Michelle will be carrying with her on the plane is June 1. Here are some ideas to get you started:

1. A letter with pictures and easy questions they can answer back for you.
2. Shirts, backpacks, grooming supplies, socks, sweatshirts, underwear, pencils and notebooks.
3. A hand crank or solar flashlight. (small)
4. Bibles or books of inspiration and success.

Please know that anything received now will not be with our main shipments and will become extra baggage (at a much higher cost). A donation of $20 towards that cost is gratefully appreciated.

We are seeking help to continue this amazing work. Please DONATE NOW TO Matanya’s Hope. (link on the top of this page) Your donation will directly impact our mission outreach for these children.

Thank you.
Asante Sana

MISSION 2016 Send Hope to Kenya

Matanya’s Hope Mission Drive

Send HOPE to Kenya.
Since 2005, Matanya’s Hope has delivered HOPE to some of the neediest children and communities in rural Kenya. Every year, we distribute shoes, school supplies, clothing, hygiene supplies, medical supplies, blankets, porridge and so much more. Most of all we deliver love and hope for a brighter future.

Matanya's Hope founder Michelle Stark serves a child from Kagaani Primary school with porridge.  For many of these students, this porridge is the only meal they will receive in a day.

Thanks to you, our supporters and followers, we have collected and packed over 4,000 pounds of donations ready to distribute. We have more this year than ever before!

Children from impoverished backgrounds receive inner wears, something almost impossible for their families to provide.

We need help with our last big task.

We need now only to raise our Mission $$$$. We have the same goal to raise as last year, $30,000. We reached our goal last year and with your help, we will reach it again this year. Starting now and through mid-June we will be counting down on our blog page. www.journeytohelpafrica.com
Many of you have given so much already and may not be able to assist again, but share our post with friends and family. Every person who reads and learns about Matanya’s Hope is amazed at the work that is being done. Sharing our message is a huge help. The craziest stories on the internet get thousands of shares. (I know you know of some) Surely stories of good works and deeds can get the same attention.
We currently have 230 students in boarding schools and universities. Our first students from 2006 are graduating and becoming gainfully employed. We help thousands through our porridge program, rainwater tank program and with other life changing donations.

Please consider donating now and/or sharing our story. We are making a difference for these children and communities.
