The trip to Meru, Kenya made by the Alpine Initiatives Team was more successful than we could have ever imagined. We were able to complete the kitchen for KACH, as well as start working on the Bio-Intensive garden.
We are very excited about the addition of the garden, as it will provide food for the children as well serving as an educational tool. The children will be responsible for the gardens and will learn the bio-intensive organic farming methods.
Not only did your donations help to build the Kitchen and the Garden, but it also provided jobs for 15 locals. The AI team was extremely humbled by the local workers as we worked about as hard as we have ever experienced. We helped the locals build the kitchen with limited tools and absolutely no power tools. It was amazing!
Another very special part of the experience are the relationships made between the the AI team and the Local workers and Children. No words can accurately describe the beauty of these relationships, but be assured they are beyond special. Upon our departure the workers told us we are no longer white Americans and black Africans, but now we are brothers.
The AI team was very privileged to have this experience and we were honored to represent all of you as we set out to touch and brighten the futures of those who live in a world very different than ours.
The true impact of wha t we accomplished was felt when we witnessed the smiles of the beautiful children we all will be responsible for helping to feed. Son Once again Asante Sana Sana!
