Springs Luther Academy Computer Lab!

Springs of Life Lutheran Church Kibera continue to receive gifts of love from people of good will especially after the looting and burning of The Church,Clinic and School during the post election violence in 2008.
One of these was the official opening of a newly-donated computer lab by Ken Okoth thru the Children of Kibera Foundation on Wednesday December 2, 2009. The computer lab,which is oneof the CoKF's Kibera Online Schools project, is equipped with nine computers, tables and chairs.The occasion was witnessed by the ELCK Arch-Bishop Dr,Walter Obare and School Board Chair Mrs Alice Mwarabu,Church Leaders and Members.
The ceremony was graced by Elizabeth Penniman, visiting parent and donor from the Potomac School in McLean, VA. Ms. Penniman travels to Africa frequently as the Vice President of Global Advocacy, Public Policy, and Communications for the Elizabeth Glasier AIDS Foundation.
After the reception, guests signed the guest book and Ken said CoKF is very excited to contribute to the rebuilding and refurbishing of the Springs Lutheran Church Community and School (Luther Academy), especially after the church was badly damaged during the post violence in 2008.
The lab will serve not only the children at the primary school, but the church youth group and other members that come from the far reaches of the Kibera slums.
It will also connect the Springs of Life Lutheran Community with the rest of the world.
The Springs of life Lutheran Community would like to give thanks to CoKF and Ken Okoth for being a good example to the Kibera youth.Having been brought up in Kibera Slums Ken has proved that despite odds that one experiences it is still possible to reach out to such communities.
The Springs of Life Lutheran Church Kibera would wish to welcome individuals or organization to partner with us in the rebuilding of Springs of life Lutheran Church Community.You can view more photos here:
