Contribution/In Memory message to JHU Carey staff
The following message was sent out to the JHU Carey staff by Rhonda McCray.=====
Hello to all,
Some of you may or may not know that, Charles Wachira, our
Online Project Coordinator, lost his father a few weeks ago to colon cancer at
the young age of 66.
The Teaching&Learning@Carey Team members, along with several
of us in the Carey Office of Education would like to make a contribution in
Charles’ father’s name to a rural school in Nyeri, Kenya called Ihruru Primary
School. Charles' father attended this school and later worked there as a
teacher and as a principal.
The students have various needs in this area of the world, where
the average monthly salary is about $311. Our donations will go towards
supplies like books, uniforms, mosquito nets, allowances for field trips, math
equipment etc. We are working directly with Charles who is talking with
his mother to determine the best way for any money to be used. He will ensure
that the money directly helps the students of the school.
If you are interested in contributing, please send to either
Rhonda McCray or Catherine Zadoretsky by Wednesday,
July 15. Any contribution is welcome, no
size is too small. Please do not feel any pressure to contribute. This is
absolutely voluntary. Please feel free to share this email with
others.
Wiley, our online educational learning partners, are also
coordinating contributions on their side. We'll pool together our money
and jointly send a check or box of supplies to the school.
Thank you.
Rhonda H. McCray
