General Update
Vumilia Village Community Center
We are thrilled to report that we are closing on specific options for land to purchase that will serve as the location of a community center for the residents of Vumilia Village. The building of this center will provide business opportunities to the villagers and will provide a location to be used for teaching and community events in Nairobi, Kenya.
7th Annual Peruvian Christmas Celebration
This year we will be traveling to Cuzco, Peru to participate in a Christmas celebration that will provide Christmas gifts to over 1,000 children. We need to raise $8,000 by December in order to make this event possible. Donating $8 will provide one child with a Christmas gift, hot chocolate, and traditional Peruvian Christmas bread, Panatone.
It Takes A Village 5K
On October 19 Empower Dreams was a proud sponsor of the 5K run, It Takes a Village, benefitting Cornerstone Prep Academy. There were over 1,000 participants and as a result over $30,000 was raised for the building of a new school for Naomi’s Village.
