Often times when working in an organization there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes in order for the organization to function well and carry out its mission. This is certainly true at eduKenya and there are a number of people whose stories are not featured, but play an absolutely vital role in our work. One of those people is Kathie Friedel. When Kathie started working with eduKenya nearly half a decade ago, she was thinking this would simply be a stop-gap situation for the organization. She invested herself in the communications work of eduKenya for the last 4 ½ years, developing strong relationships with our Kenyan staff and passionately sharing the stories of the families and children that we have the opportunity to work with. Nearly all of what you have read from eduKenya over the last 4 ½ years was written by Kathie or has past through her desk. We have a wonderful team in Kenya that has shared stories of transformation with us, and Kathie has done a great job getting that out to all of you. Kathie has decided it is time to retire. We are grateful for her commitment to God, and the way that has led to her passion for the vision of eduKenya. We look forward to seeing how God will continue to use Kathie to further His Kingdom in the future.
