Our team will be travelling to Kenya on a mission trip. While there we will primarily be working at two sites: a school that serves underprivileged children, and a medical clinic in the remote Masai Mara. In addition, we will visit several self-help sites with which we have become acquainted in the past. On the weekends we will enjoy safaris to see the famous animals of Kenya.

Deflating soccer balls for the trip.

On July 18th we met at a picnic to firm up plans, take a group photo, and deflate 20 used soccer balls donated by the Rochester Rhinos! We will deliver the balls along with clothing, medical supplies, and food to the various groups that we will be visiting.

Provision of work supplies and support for programs are possible due to donations from a broad range of interested people, primarily Webster Presbyterian Church members. The Mission Trip members are paying for their own transportation, food, and weekend adventures.

Kabobs are almost ready!
