Support Maddie Weirich's Journey in Kenya

Donation protected
Hi I am Maddie Weirich! I'm a senior at Michigan State University studying Special Education. I will be graduating this May! PLEASE READ if you are interested in helping to support my 2 week mission trip in Njoro, Kenya for Our Journey School.

Since I was little, I have always known that I was going to be a teacher. Just ask my brother how many "homework assignments" he had to complete for me over the years. Upon coming to Michigan State, I made the decision to pursue their Special Education program, which earns me the certification of Special Education K-12 and General Education 3rd-6th grade. In anticipation of graduation this spring, I have started to really think about how I can enter this next chapter of my life in a way that best glorifies God. I currently help lead a college ministry on campus and I love getting to share my love for the Lord, so I started to ask God to lead me down a path that would allow me to do so, even if it mean't not getting to be a teacher. Then this opportunity fell into my lap. God has shown me that there is a way to utilize the skills I have acquired for His good!

As I am set to travel to Kenya this June, our mission encompasses multiple goals:
  • To help expand the curriculum and teaching development at a school called Our Journey in Njoro. Our group training will be on differentiation/tiering and IEP development. We will be training teachers at the school how to implement these strategies in their classrooms.
  • To support the projects at Our Journey School in Njoro. We will also be working to supply for families of the students at Our Journey, and provide supplies for 12 sponsored students.

I am currently raising funds for this 2 week mission trip. All funds will be used towards supporting the projects at Our Journey School in Njoro, supplies for families, supplies for 12 sponsored students, and transportation/room and board for me while on the trip. If you are willing, please consider praying and/or donating to help me reach my goal by June! Thank you!
