Moses Kariuki is someone that I have come to have a great deal of respect for. When he finishes his University program this August, he will be travelling to the South of Sudan at Upper Nile with his friends as a volunteer. This is a dream that they’ve shared for sometime, and partnered with the great passion and devotion that they’ve displayed in cultivating their Kijiweni: An Uplift Pavilion for Africa, it becomes quickly apparent what true “better world scouts” these young men really are.
Moses is coordinating a summer candlelight Vigil in Nairobi, with the hopes of mobilizing at least 100 people to stand up for the end of genocide. Moses is hoping to send a loud message to Kenya.
The Vigil budget is $1,000, intended to include the cost of candles, “Stop Genocide in Sudan” tshirts, and travel expenses for approximately 20 Sudanese refugees who are currently in Kenya. We’ve included an extra $25 in our DropCash campaign goal to cover the transaction fees.
I invite you to join me in helping Moses and his planning team reach their goal by throwing a bit of spare change into this tin cup: DropCash
For more information, you can contact Moses here. http://www.omidyar.net/user/u590560998/
Thanks for any help that you might be able to provide with this uplift :^)
