Last Week Guest Speaker
Cathy Booth - Umoja Project Kenya
Cathy from Bundaberg Sunrise Rotary, was joined by Nola Brimley from Laverton Rotary Club.
Cathy spoke passionately about a project she commenced in Ukunda, Kenya in 2010. Ukunda is 2 hours from Mombassa in the east, and close to the Somalia border. The property is 15 acres.
She has started a self sustaining childrens village, to look after abandoned and orphaned children. The project is registered by RAWCS, so is supervised, and donations are tax deductible.
130 volunteers have visited the oroject from Australian Rotary Clubs since 2010, to work on the project. Most people in Ukunda village, have never had any form of education.
