Fundraising Events, Canada5 Year Celebration, "Their Life in Their Hands"
Our 5 year Anniversary Celebration, October 15, saw an exciting gathering of diverse people, talented musicians and dancers and enthusiastic Kenyans and Canadians who were willing to share their rich experiences in visiting Village of Love.
We were especially thrilled to be graced by the presence of the Kenyan High Commisioner, H.E. John Lanyasunya, who took time out of a very busy schedule to be with us. In his opening remarks, he noted how unusual it is for two countries to be brought together, not at government level, but person to person.
Indeed this has been an aspect of our involvement with Village of Love that has been most rewarding: having our eyes opened to a different way of thinking and approach to life.
Peace in the world could surely be advanced through a great deal more intercultural learning!
