Thank you everyone for supporting me on my trip to Kenya. It was incredible.
While I was there, I visited my schools in Kakamega and Bungoma. The children were very happy with their schools. They danced and sang in honor of me and all the donations that had helped them get their schools.
We spent most of our time with Brother Patrick and Brother Charles. They were very outgoing and casual people who worked so hard to make sure that the children at Stefan's Wing at St. Gonzaga, and St. Stephen School, have all the supplies they need as well as dedicated teachers.
While I was in Kenya, I also went on a safari, where we saw lions, zebras, a leopard, and hippos as well as many other animals. Kenya is very different than California. There are a lot of little differences. For example, in Kenya the ginger ale is called "Stoney Tangawizi" and is a lot spicier than the ginger ale here. We drank a lot of Stoney Tangawizi in Kenya!
We also did a few other fun things, such as rode a camel on the beach, and took a ride on a very old train across southern Kenya.
I learned that Kenyan children have a huge need for education. This fall my goal is to encourage people to continue their donations so that we can finish the St. Stephen School and hopefully raise enough money to bring solar power there as well.

Preparing for our trip to Africa
To The Stefan Lyon Foundation Family:
We are very excited about our Aug. 2nd trip to Kenya where we will visit the children at Stefan's schools and help build classroom #6. We will also be visiting the Pediatric AIDS Ward of Kenya National Hospital where Stefan will spend time reading to the children and talking about his mission. Additionally we will be meeting with various organizational leaders including the Head of Education in Kenya.
While in Africa we would like to be able to provide each AIDS patient in the Pediatric Ward and each student at Stefan's schools with one of his books (approx. 200 total). Therefore, from this point forward until we leave, every $10 donation will be used to provide a book to these children.
If you are interested in helping us achieve this goal, please go to www.stefanlyon.com and hit the "Donate" button on top of the Home page. When you get to the Donation Page, go to the green box at the top of the page that says, "Donate Options for #1".
We sincerely appreciate everyone's support that has made this project possible. We will be sure to send everyone pictures of the children receiving the books that Stefan will pass out.
Sincerely,
Stefan, Denise, and everyone at The Stefan Lyon Foundation
