When I visited the Nairobi slum of Kibera with CARE Kenya, they introduced me to some great people who run an organization called Hands of Love. In addition to a high school, they run a computer school and tailoring school to teach skills to young people who can't go on with their education past the 8th grade. They also have a resource room/library for kids in the neighborhood. They need ANY books you may want to send that would be appropriate for 8 - 14 year olds. They're also be grateful for any fabric that the tailoring students could use. Here's their mailing address address:
Hands Of Love Society,
P O Box 57421
00200 Nairobi, Kenya
You can also email them at handsoflovesociety@yahoo.com if you have other materials you would like to offer, like refurbished computers, sewing machines or stationary items. They can put almost anything to great use as long as you can get it to them. Many thanks.
