Now that Jeff is back from Kenya, with new videos and photos from Eburru.
This video shows, at a very high level excatly whats going on in Eburru, a few interviews with the in country ministry directors, Pastor Steve and his brother Jonathan, as well as some clips of the property we are attempting to finance that will be converted into a community care center, with the long term vision of having schools, dorms, medical facilities and more all on 10 acres of land 8000 feet above the Great Rift Valley. The property needs a ton of work, and this video shows a little of that. But the best part of the video is the closing shot of about 17 children who David’s Hope International sponsored this past week. For only 15 dollars these kids have school paid for this year, guarenteeing them clothing, food, and education… for only $15 bucks! Not only that, by being in school these kids are being saved from entering a litnany of horrible situations including a life or prostitution for the girls and being recruited as child soldiers for the boys.
Jeff says that he saw the real Eburru on this trip. Now its time for David’s Hope International to get to work and do our part to help!
A little goes a long way in Eburru.

Hey!
My name is Sarah Danaher. I’m a freelance missions photojournalist in Fredericksburg, VA. I got back from Mombasa, Kenya just a few weeks ago. Check out my blog to see some of my pictures. I’m still processing through most of them, but I’ll have more up soon. I just thought it would be good to make contact with you, since we’re in the same part of the world. =)
Cheers!
Sarah
I have tears in my eyes after seeing this video. Because I know those kids. I know Mwangi and Julius and John and Hannah. I’ve been to Ebuuru 4 times now, I keep going back because I simply love the people there. Jeff, I was the one who answered the phone when Elijah called you this summer
It brings so much joy to my heart to see this, and to know that there are other people out there who love Eburru and the people of Eburru as much as I do. Much peace and many blessings to you as you continue to bring the hope of Christ to these little ones in real ways.
It is so exciting to see this and the work your are doing. I am still in contact with my friends that I met and made when I was in Eburru in the summer of 2006. I was there with my friend Kara that has commented above me. I recognize several of the people in this video, and the camp we stayed in while we were there. I will be praying for you, and would love to become involved in what you are doing! Thank you!
