2021 JANUARY BACK TO SCHOOL GIFTS
With the dawn of the New Year, it is back to school for all learners in Kenya and despite the raging pandemic world over, the government has carefully crafted a return to school plan to help protect the students against Covid 19 both while at home and school.
Our sponsored children are excited to resume learning after months of staying home due to the global pandemic that led to all schools closing indefinitely. Also given that Kenya has no homeschooling plan in its education system, there is no way she could have kept up with her syllabus.
Armed with books, stationery, full school uniform, and more, students are ecstatic and eager to go back to school and see their peers.

Our usual congregation at the Give Amore center was replaced with our team transporting supplies to the homes of the beneficiaries for our April Distribution due to Corona virus related restrictions.
In addition to the food and toiletries we typically issue, this time there was an augmentation of hand washing stations, extra food and soap to supplement their provisions during these lean moments and help curb the spread of the virus in case of an outbreak in the remote rural areas.

Michael received a full-time sponsor and has officially joined our sponsorship program!
2017 update
Michael is son to Derrick Omani, former TGD Employee and is the middle of 3 children to Derrick and Carolyn. His youngest sibling, Jayden, was adopted by Derrick and Carolyn. He comes from a very poor, but hard working family. While not an official member of our sponsorship program, Give Amore continues to support this beautiful boy and his family.
His parents are doing a great job raising him to love the Lord and to help others despite their limited financial means. Michael, like all of our children, lives in a mud hut with no electricity or running water. However, through Give Amore, well #2 was placed near their home in 2016 so they now have access to clean water.
