Since 2005, Runnymede United Church has been connected with the Obara family in Nairobi, Kenya. Leonora and Andrew Obara have fifteen (!) children of whom 5 were born to them and they adopted 10 more whose parents died of AIDS. In Kenya, school is not free. The focus of Kenya AIDS Orphans Outreach has been to educate all 15 children. The oldest 11 are all educated and working. We’re now supporting the 4 youngest as they study nursing, law and engineering.
