She’s determined to visit Kenya this coming summer and help Graceworks hold Vacation Bible School.
“I want to tell the little kids in Kenya that Jesus loves them even though their situation is really hard and they don’t have parents,” says Singer. “I also want to show all kids that you’re never too young to serve others.”
In order to raise funds for the trip and supplies for the children, Singer is spearheading a variety of fundraising events, including a student led Youth Benefit Concert on May 12th at 7:00 p.m. and a “Got Kenya Fun Run” on May 22nd.
Graceworks: Hope Network for Children International is a charitable organization based in Anaheim that was founded by Dr. Susan Njemanze in 2004 to improve the lives of African children, many of whom have been orphaned by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The project strives to keep children in their communities and provides food, school fees, supplies, medical care, and spiritual and emotional support.
