Today I wanted to inform you about a fabulous non-profit and my even more fabulous friend who started and runs it. Ashby Rauch started Visible Grace a few years ago. In Ashby's own words, Visible Grace is "a non-profit organization committed to providing faith-based education to children in need. Our goal is to help alleviate poverty by empowering children through education. With a holistic philosophy, we believe that children will best learn when they are cared for physically, mentally and spiritually."
Their first major project is to build a school and home for orphaned children in Nairobi, Kenya. They have purchased 10 acres of land, have blueprints of the buildings, and just received their building permits from the Government. They are hoping to begin laying the cement foundation this summer.
Please take a few minutes to watch this video and get a glimpse of Ashby, the country and people she loves and is trying to help, and learn more about Visible Grace. If you would like to donate to this wonderful organization, head on over to the webpage.
Recycle Love is also teaming up with Visible Grace this summer. We are fundraising to send two people to Africa this July with Ashby. Our goal is to send Pete Dryden and Jesse Beam to Kenya to document the work that Visible Grace is doing. Pete and Jesse will be able to brig new light to the work going on there, and bring that vision back here to the States. By sharing the documentary they make, we can educate and inform more people about Visible Grace and the home/school in Kenya.
If you are interested in helping Recycle Love send Pete and Jesse to Africa, visit HERE. And if you are local, we are having a FREE benefit concert here in town on Saturday June 4th, 7:00pm. Hope to see you there!
