JENN’S BACK FROM KENYA
Jenn spent much of the month of January 2009 in Kibwezi working with our Kenya Project Coordinator Christine Birnbaum, paying school fees, purchasing new uniforms and shoes as well as distributing gifts from our USA sponsors to the 72 children that are participating in our Student Sponsorship Program. That’s to all of you that help keep our kids in secondary school!
SUBARU COMMERCIAL!
Check out Jenn’s nationally televised Subaru commercial about Nomad Charities. Thank you to everyone from around the country who have donated money and/or have taken on a student in our Student Sponsorship Program. Hats Off!
