$500 Goes a Long Way!

We want to thank a local group from the bottom of our hearts for their donation today of $500 to KARE, so that KARE could purchase dry milk and other food for the Samburu. We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to every individual and group who has heard this outcry and given support to save the Samburu.

The speed of modern electronic communication still amazes me. I found out this morning of this group’s  Board of Directors’ vote; immediately e-mailed my friend and KARE founder, Tina Ramme, of the important news.   Between that time and watering the garden, Tina’s delighted response came back across an ocean, thousands of miles and hours of time difference: “I am so encouraged” by this and other donations and “I can’t wait to tell the Samburu!”

In her text e-mail, Tina wrote of  a young boy and others they came across when they were traveling.  That young boy is one of the Samburu whom your donations provide the immediate means to live. They are actively searching for means of their people’s survival, not abandoning but caring for each other. The Samburu are buoyed up, not only by the food that your donations help provide, but by the knowledge that you and others in the world know of their current existence and care about their fate. This knowledge is no small support to their spirits.

Thank you for all of your donations.
