Golf Tournament Benefiting Starfish Kenya Today November 7, 2011 Houston , TX. Hi everyone! I'm on my way to participate in a Golf Tournament benefiting Starfish Kenya.
What is Starfish Kenya? Starfish Kenya provides hope to children who have been orphaned by the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Kenya…one child at a time.
Starfish Kenya was born as Roy and Pam Newberry (founders of Starfish) made their first visit to Kenya. The Newberry’s were overcome with the despair and hopelessness as they witnessed the ravages of the AIDS virus on the children of Kenya. “With over two million children orphaned and many living on the streets, it is easy to be paralyzed into doing nothing” said Pam Newberry, “but God was impressing upon our hearts to focus on one child at a time, and for every child we could help, it would make a difference to that child. The Starfish story kept coming to mind.”
Today, Starfish Kenya has seen “one child at a time” turn into 209 rescued children who are current residents/beneficiaries of one of our two sponsored projects. These children are not just surviving… they are flourishing.
"Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have." -Margaret Mead
Starfish Kenya currently provides resources (financial and personnel) for two projects in Kenya: House of Hope and St. Anna Day Care Centre’. Both projects benefit from financial support as well as strategic planning for future expansion. Our primary focus is rescuing abandoned children. Once under the care of our partnering ministries, we help provide them with housing, food and nourishment, fresh water, medical aid, clothing, education, and a lot of love.
