Who We Are

Just a bit about who we are!

In 2006 we, as a family, believe the Lord called us to move to Kenya to help His children! The we in this includes myself, Gregory Dow, my wife Mary Rose Dow and six children, Al, Marianna, Peter, Winifred Mary, Rose Alice and Hannah Virginia. After much preparation we sold our home in Pennsylvania and arrived here in Kenya on Feb. 27th 2008. Since that time we have acquired land and buildings and have established a home for orphan and abandonded children.
