 I am the Senior Pastor of The Melbourne Worship Centre, and in 2001, my friends Jeff and Ruth Njuguna commenced a school in Kenya (after the tragic loss of their daughter Lavenda at Birth). Our church is a major stakeholder and from its humble beginnings with 5 students in January 2001, we now have 2 schools and over 300 students and 60 staff in a remote area of Kenya known as Gatarakwa.

These people would not get an education without the help of many generous people. You can find out more by visiting our website: www.lavendasprings.com

Yes, the school was named after the daughter Ruth and Jeff lost. Her name is known over most of the region.

This shot is taken at our second school in Maralel which is in Samburu country. This young lady is 15 and has a child which is actually on her back

What great colors and I love the desat treatment here. I think you may have included her left shoulder in the desat by mistake.

Oh wow... I loved this from the moment I saw it, and the story behind it is just as beautiful.

"WOW" can you teach me how to desaturate as I have no idea at all. I love this one because of the way you have taken it, how you have processed it, and the way she looks.
