Sherekea Charity fund

In the 1930s in the United States, sacks containing flour and grain were made of cloth, primarily cotton. The Kansas Wheat company, in the midst of the Great Depression, realized that the poorest families were reusing them to sew dresses for women and girls, so to make them more captivating they decided to print them with floral and colorful motifs.
The initiative was a huge success: they made sure that the ink used for the logos would fade after a simple wash, and some bags even had the patterns already drawn on the fabric, ready to be cut and sewn.
A marketing tactic that helped American families get through a particularly difficult period, also useful as a source of income for women who would later sell their recycled models.

It saddens me to announce the untimely death of our beloved 1st Sponsor kid and Son Kelvin Otieno Wire.
Former student of Ichinga Primary School, Njoro Boys High school & recent 2015 1st year undergrad student at Moi University School of Business and Economic pursuing a course leading to the degree of Business Management.

Kelvin was sponsored through Sherekea Charity Fund under a program of "Brighter Star Of Tomorrow” which focuses on children in the community where we work, that have shown to be exceptionally bright and promising, yet lack the resources for further education.

His was sponsored by Dr. Ronald Shaw, Ava Farber, Vivian A Achieng & Helen Fraund, from High school to University...

His sudden departure has shocked all of us, unfortunately this past Sunday October 25th, him and his friend went by the near river in Kenya “Yala” closer to the campus as a routine hang out place.
As I was told, he slipped into the river while taking photos of a fish and went under the water.
The sad thing, he didn’t know how to swim, so as his friend. The news came today that his body was recovered and confirmed it was him.

We extend our most sincere condolences to all; families and friends, schoolmates.
May God give you the comfort and peace that you seek and may his soul rest in peace.

Will keep you posted on the funeral arrangement and program..

Sincerely,

Vivian A Achieng & SCF Team
