Pat Botwright lives and works in Kisumu, Kenya where she runs an orphanage for over 180+ children.
The orphanage is in the City of Kisumu. where some of the worst violence and up-evil is going on, since the dodgy, rigged re-election of the old president.
We should all pray for Railaodinga to become President and the original flawed election be overturned.

We collectively need to pray for the release of £3000 for the college fees for 19 students and also for the release of funds for extra books and equipment etc.
For more information on the amazing work that Pat does in Kisumu, speak to John Downing at Grace Community Church, alternatively follow the web-link from this website and download the PDF of the brochure, it's a good read and the pictures of the kiddies are just brilliant.
Alternatively pile you cash into our Pat Botwright collection chest that's on the tea bar at our church.
The stuff that gingles is good, but she would prefer the stuff that folds. Dig deep, you may be suprised how far a little pounds sterling can go in Kisumu.Thanks for your interest, you may want to check out the Mos-D link on the website also, he's one of Pat's boys, rapping about the Good what Pat's done him.

The washing machines are needed urgently as the old ones are completely broken down.
They are having to hand wash everything for 50+ kids including bedding etc.
Also because of the rain thing's don't dry properly and very often the kids are putting on damp clothes.
Pat considers the washing machines and the mosquito nets are the most important items at the moment and would be blessed to receive the finances to purchase them.
None of the girls have mosquito nets and have to sleep with their heads under the blankets to avoid the mossies.
With the college fees being so high this term they cannot even afford to buy just a few.
