Our community extends further than Charlotte, NC, all the way to the Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre (GGCC) on Mfangano Island in Lake
Victoria in Kenya. Recently we donated for the 2013 Walk-A-Thon for Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre on April 20, 2013.
At GGCC, over five hundred students are currently enrolled at the
Christian-based school, where they consistently exceed the national average for
end-of-year test scores. The students are among the poorest from Mfangano and the
surrounding islands. Up to 65% of the people depend on government assistance for
daily sustenance, and 60% of pregnant women are infected with HIV. The number of
orphans increases each year as parents die from this disease.
Hendrick Honda shares the Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre's vision to give hope to, and empower, children who are victims of poverty and
HIV/AIDS by providing them with a quality, Christian-based
education.
