Nyanya Project

Students in the second grade class of Ms. Katie Williams in the Belmont School outside of Boston recently reached out to African families. They raised almost 100 toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste to send to Nyanya Project families in Kenya.  They are classmates of Hannah Pierce, youngest granddaughter of TNP Founder, who spoke at their class month.  One of the things they asked our founder was, how can we help?  They then decided on toothbrushes.  Hannah will bring their gifts to Kenya in July when she visits the Nyanya Project families with her family.  This is what the teacher wrote…

Dear Mary, We had a very successful Open House this morning where the children were able to showcase all of their hard work and learning about Kenya.  They did a fantastic job!  We are beyond excited to tell you that we collected a grand total of 64 small tubes of toothpaste and 95 toothbrushes!!!!! The kids were absolutely thrilled with what they had done.  If you could tell us exactly who and how many that might help, I would love to tell the students concretely what they have done.    Their thoughtfulness and generosity touches me and inspires me every day.  Thank you for your inspiration as well.  We couldn’t have thought of a better organization to help than yours! Fondly, Katie Williams
