Look who's here!
We were overjoyed last night to receive Sr. Anne and Sr. Grechen from St. Catherine's Primary School in Kenya. They have joined us for Easter weekend and we are so happy to see them! Sr. Anne visited Ursuline in 2007 and we have been close to her and to her school since that time. We are excited to have the Sisters with us and we are also excited to give them all of the socks, shoes, sheets and towels that we brought for their students. We are also so happy that our UA students (from the Art Club and from the Student Council effort during Catholic Schools week) recently raised $3000.00 for scholarships for St. Catherine's students. Sr. Anne and Sr. Grechen are delighted to be with us and they have only enhanced our wonderful African experience.

So great to see the supplies that we donated go into the Sisters hands! How far did they have to travel to meet you? How do they transport the donated supplies back to their school?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the Easter egg hunt.
Happy Easter to you all.

The sisters live just across the border in Nangina,Kenya - about 5 or 6 hours away. Today we will figure out the details of their return - likely by bus or we will hire them a private taxi. We also brought large duffles for them to use and Sister brought one from home that we gave her last year. We are ready for the egg hunt but its raining - hopefully it will clear up soon :) Thanks for writing!!
