A long-serving volunteer, who has travelled to Kenya on six different occasions to help two children’s facilities, is to give a presentation in South Surrey this week about her experience.
Bonnie Gillis has been a helping hand at Samburu Handicapped Education and Rehabilitation Programme (SHERP) in Maralal and the Good Samaritan Children’s Home in Mathare, Nairobi.
At the facilities, she worked with staff and administration, helped set up medical records, purchased school items and worked with the children.
The South Surrey and White Rock chapter of the Oneness Gogos invited Gillis to Elgin Hall, 14250 Crescent Rd., from 7-9 p.m. Oct. 25. The event is to feature a ‘quiz’ of Kenyan household implements, a market place and silent auction.
Proceeds will go to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign.
