 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 of one of the boys from the small Samburu village of Maralel. We started the Maralel School in January 2005.

Wow, I love the soft focus on this one. Looks like something that they would use for the Christian Children's Fund or some other similar organization. It carries an impact that would be missing if it was left with tack sharp detail.
