Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre (the new Starehe of Kenya) Harambee Is August 18, 2012
Members of the Lowland Community, the organizing committee and Gethsemane Garden Christian Center students, staff and family are inviting you to a fundraiser in aid of the center on Saturday, August 18th, 2012 in New Jersey, USA starting at 5p.m. to 12 a.m. @ the American Legion Post 401, 148 Major Road, Monmouth Junction NJ 08852.
Gethsemane Garden Academy and Gethsemane Garden High School for orphans are the new Starehe of Kenya located on Mfangano Island in Suba District.
The center, which was started in 2003 for orphans from Kindergarten to third grade, has expanded to 12th grade or Form 4. It has been largely financially supported by well wishers from U.S. who have visited the school from time to time.
The center wants you to be part of its success as it makes history.
The school started from a humble beginning, a loving vision of supporting a few children who lost both parents to the dreaded HIV by a God chosen couple Mr. Naphtaly Mattah and his wife Nereah Mattah. Like the children of Israelite the number multiplied very fast and God’s miracle worked its way to now 535 students. Gethsemane now prides itself with strong candidates distributed in academic giants such as Alliance Boys and Girls, Starehe, Mangu, Moi Girls Eldoret, Maranda to mention a few. Below is the official website and videos of Gethsemane story:

It is for this reason that we are inviting you to help raise funds to continue supporting this noble cause.
Also during this event, you will have the opportunity of selecting a child to sponsor at GGCC and thereby have your family participate in raising up the child back in Kenya at very affordable monthly fee. GGCC has a tax exempt status in the USA. Therefore, all your donations on June 18th and any future support through child sponsorship or one time donation will be tax deductible.
Come and join some of the previous sponsors of the school on August 18th. It will be a good opportunity to join them in promoting the school and thanking them for their kind support for the last 12 years.
