Hi Friends! In a couple of weeks Tim and I will travel to Nairobi to leading Nacham Bereavement Counselor Training with Elizabeth Project International.
This training equips participants to effectively provide support for families that experience miscarriage, stillbirth and infant death. We want to help every community in Kenya to have access to someone with skills to provide this very important support. Church pastors, imams, priests, swamis, often function in this role. We would honor the opportunity to support their skills.
If you are interested in providing a scholarship for participants please donate to this outreach on our website at

Elizabeth Project International, Inc. is a non-profit organization committed to providing maternal and child educational programs; empowering mothers with evidence based information, skills and support, while advocating for dignity, compassion and best care practice healthcare.

That night a nurse quietly tiptoed into her room whispering a remark in her ear she’d never forget.
