I am the Senior Pastor of The Melbourne Worship Centre, and in 2001, my friends Jeff and Ruth Njuguna commenced a school in Kenya (after the tragic loss of their daughter Lavenda at Birth). Our church is a major stakeholder and from its humble beginnings with 5 students in January 2001, we now have 2 schools and over 300 students and 60 staff in a remote area of Kenya known as Gatarakwa.
These people would not get an education without the help of many generous people. You can find out more by visiting our website: www.lavendasprings.com
Yes, the school was named after the daughter Ruth and Jeff lost. Her name is known over most of the region.
This shot is taken at our school assembly where we showed over 300 kids THE LION KING Movie on a laptop...it was the first time many of them had seen a movie.
My favorite by far. He is focused and the DOF really works. Great lighting. The candid expression of "huh?" is great! What a wonderful trip you must've had.
