Volunteering: Missionvale S. Africa
Donation protected
Hi!! I'm Katherine Kennedy, 18 years old, and welcome to my gofundme! I am trying to live a life in the service of others.
April through July, I am going to Port Elizabeth, South Africa to volunteer at a project called Missionvale Care Center with Khaya Volunteer Projects. My father's second cousin, Sister Ethel Normoyle, was the founder of this amazing project and in 1990 my Uncle Mike Kennedy went to help her. Throughout all of the stories I heard and research I have done, it has been my goal and dream to go to her mission and do what I can, but most importantly simply LOVE others.
Missionvale Care Center provides food, clothing, health/social/spiritual care, child developement/education for thousands of people in a township outside of Port Elizabeth. They are "committed to providing quality care and support to improve the lives of the people of Missionvale through love, compassion, consultation, participation and self-development."
The money I raise will be used for my transportation (25+ hour plane ride!), fees to stay in the volunteer house, transportation to and from the mission daily, and 15% goes directly to the mission! With all kinds of student debts around the corner for me I could really use your help trying to come up with the money for this incredible opportunity.
ANY sort of monetary aid is tremendously appreciated but if you cannot give please please send me your prayers! They mean so much!! Also if you could share my link on your facebook or other sites that is extremely helpful!! I will also keep you in my prayers :)
If you have any questions or comments, please let me know, I would love to chat!
Your friend,
Katherine
