We have an urgent appeal for a young student, named Jeremiah Lokol who lives on the border between Turkana and Pokot areas; one of the poorest parts of Kenya. I met him in September when I was on a food relief mission to the people in that area.

Jeremiah has just been accepted to the top school in the country and this has made my day with this news. But he needs tuition and school uniform costs in a matter of days (by the end of this month) so I am making an URGENT appeal to everyone.
Sadly, everything that Jeremiah's family had was stolen by their neighbours just around the time the parents were planing to sell some cows and goats to pay for his education. Some of you will know that in this area the people are pastoralists and they suffer from cattle raiding.

As the boy comes from a family of 9, it looks like his dream of attending the school which is located in Kikuyu town near Nairobi, might not become a reality. He might lose the chance of joining this great school and achieving his dream of becoming a pilot after finishing high school.
What we need to do is gather everyone's support to ensure he can go to school. He needs everyone's support to make this possible.
The fees and costs for term one are 24,943 Kenyan shillings ( $304 Canadian, $275 Australian, $292 US, 222 Euros, 187 GBP) There are additional costs of 6695 Kenyan shillings for school uniforms ( $81 Canadian, $74 Australian, $78 US, 60 Euros, 50 GBP and some modest amount for travelling to the school and making sure he has the other clothing and bedding he needs.
I am praying to God for someone to come forward and answer the prayers for this family and this boy.

I pray for this young man and for Kipngeno who is going to university. I pray that God would open wide the gates of financial blessing to build a future and a hope for these bright young boys. May good people of good hearts everywhere be able to help and encourage others to do the same. In Jesus' name I pray and I believe for answered prayers, amen.
