 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 is one of our gorgeous kids who has been at the school from when it started.

The honest smile of an African child... so unpoluted.

What a genuine happy grin. I like the use of light and shadow. What if you played with contrast a bit for a bit more punch?
