Students in Parkland Secondary’s Peer Helping Class are once again, raising support and dollars to continue funding education for Lewis Githinji Njorogo in Nairobi. Their most recent Spirit Assembly in May included a pie-throwing contest where students purchased tickets for the chance to throw a pie at a teacher. EHA BC is grateful for the continued connection between students on Vancouver Island and our students in Kenya and is honoured to be associated with Parkland!
Sponsor Found!
Thanks go out to a Victoria family for their financial support of Eugene, our 16-year-old student who was searching for a new sponsor. This young family of four is excited to include Eugene in their extended family and look forward to corresponding with him as he continues his schooling.
More than 60 people gathered on May 2nd at the SHOAL Centre in Sidney to celebrate Africa, children’s education, and the work of EHA BC. Thanks go out to the community for their support, and for helping us to raise much-needed funds for our students in Nairobi. A shout out to the fabulous Wontanara Drum and Dance of Victoria for their entertaining and uplifting performance, enjoyed by all.

EHA in BC has an immediate need for a sponsor for Eugene. He is 16 years old and in grade 9. Eugene is very bright, and motivated to do well in secondary school. He said to his previous sponsor, “I will not let you down. During my December break, I will teach my little sister how to read and pray”. If you wish to sponsor Eugene, write Bill German at wbgerman@telus.net. The cost to sponsor Eugene for 2015 is $ 1000. This payment covers tuition in a boarding school, room and board, a uniform, and an allowance for personal effects. Thanks for considering this urgent matter.
For several years, Parkland Secondary on the Sannich Peninsula has supported EHA BC by sponsoring a student. Work began in 2010, through the efforts of the Parkland Interact Club and the Student Council, and Kenyan student, Lewis Githinji Njorogo, began school with an initial two year commitment. With activities and events held to raise additional funds, Parkland was able to secure four years of tuition for Lewis, fondly referred to as their Kenyan Panther, and the hope is to extend beyond that with future fundraising efforts.
