We are having a great time at Catalyst 2010 (A conference for young leaders) catching up with old friends and meeting new friends as well. Our booth this year is focused on Education in Kenya. We have recreated a Kenyan classroom that you can come sit in and watch a video of students in Kenya. We also have a big canvas set up that anyone at Catalyst can come and sign. We will be sending the canvas to schools in Kenya so notes of encouragement are welcome! We also have our THINK bracelets on display. So, if you text THINK to 50555 (which donates $5 to education in Kenya) while at Catalyst, you can let us know at our booth and we’ll hook you up with a bracelet signed by a Kenyan student. You will also be able to sign a blank bracelet to be sent back to Kenya! Check out the pictures below…
Learnings From Kiu, Kenya
Our partnership with Kiu community started way back in 2009 making it one of the first communities to partner with the 410 Bridge since its inception in Kenya in 2006.
At the 410 Bridge, we work through the community leaders who ensure continuity of the community’s development even after graduation. During our partnership journey, we walk alongside indigenous community leaders and church leaders as they mobilize and unify the community to participate in their own development – shifting their perspectives and owning the solutions.
