Makena Children’s Foundation (MCF) Kenyan manager Charles Karanja will visit America for the first time. Our club has generously given grants to MCF families for food during the pandemic and, more recently, seeds and chickens to combat the constancy of malnutrition in these subsistence farmer families. Club member Anne Batzer is president of this foundation that educates rural Kenyan students.
Medford Rotary Club, October 10 @ 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

Great to hear about this program. I am the International Service Chair for the Roseburg Rotary Club. I was also a US Peace Corps Volunteer in Kenya from 1983 to 1985 in the Water and Sanitation Section. I went back in the late 1990s to help with polio eradication while working with the WHO. I am working on a grant to help an orphanage in Uganda, and I would like to travel there and also visit Kenya again. I speak Swahili, too. Please let me know if you need assistance.
Great work, Anne. I’m sure Charles will find a big welcome.
