Youth helping Nyaka – Part 1

Thanks to Taylor Maher, Tad Piscatelli, and Kevin McBride! They are high school students from Peters Township in Pennsylvania. For one of their classes, they were asked to pick a charity organization and to take action in helping the organization in their cause.

They found Nyaka and were touched by what this is about and wanted to help immediately. Taylor and his friends made and sold t-shirts and raised $150 for Nyaka.

The efforts of these three young men literally have saved the life of one child. $150 puts one orphan into school for a year at Nyaka or Kutamba School. What a huge difference and contribution these students have made.

This is the kind of thing that makes me so excited and proud to be part of this project. Thanks again to Taylor, Tad, and Kevin.

Look for part 2 and part 3 coming up within the next week on the blog. Part 2 will share the story of a 7 year old who wanted to make a difference at Nyaka. Part 3 will share the efforts of McDonald Middle School here in East Lansing.
