What can you do in 10 days? Change the world! I will soon have the opportunity to make a major impact in someone's life. I am delighted to be presented with the opportunity, but it will take the assistance family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers to make it happen. I will not be able to do this without the support of giving hearts, willing spirits, and generous souls. Continue reading to find out how you can partner with me to make a change that will be everlasting. 

Baby Haven is an orphanage in Johannesburg, South Africa that cares for the needs of abandoned and orphaned infants by providing a home, a loving environment, and the material and emotional needs of those it serves. Many of these children are currently coping with being HIV positive, physical disabilities, and emotional trauma. You can visit BabyHaven on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sssa0qvxgaE/ and their website www.babyhaven.org for more details about the work that they do.  I will also be assisting with an organization called Urban Visions, which focuses on mentoring, financially assisting, and, placing homeless people into skills training programs and eventually into decent stable homes and jobs. Here's a link to their website Urban Vision -- His People Johannesburg for more information and this link for photos Urban Vision -- Google Picasaweb Pictures. This opportunity means more to me than mere words can express. 


I will be traveling to South Africa for ten days, from March 27 to April 6 as part of a team that will support the needs of Baby Haven. The total cost of the trip is $2500 (includes transportation, lodging, food, and a small donation to the orphanage). I’m asking those who are willing to give to sponsor me for $500, $200, $100, or $50. But most importantly, I ask that you please give from your heart to help impact the lives of these children.  Every little bit helps and all funds will directly assist us in accomplishing our mission in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Please make checks payable to Ten Days and list Johannesburg, South Africa and my name, Kenya Morris in the “memo” section. Your tax-deductible donation can be sent to Ten Days/Every Nation Ministries, P.O. Box 1787, Brentwood, TN 37024. If you so desire, you can also give electronically by clicking on this link https://admin.everynation.org/giving-tendays/?missionary=100308025. If you find it within your means to give, please do so by February 15th. It will be most helpful to me in planning for the trip. If you desire to give, but cannot meet this deadline, all other gifts should be submitted by March 20th, 2012

Most importantly, please keep me in your positive thoughts, prayers, and/or meditations. Regardless of what your spiritual beliefs may be, just know that any partnership that you make with me, be it financially or via emotional and mental support, it'll be immensely appreciated by both myself as well as the children I will be serving.   I am embarking on this opportunity with nothing more than faith, and the desire love & serve. I have no idea how I will fund it, but I believe in my heart that I am called to go. I will answer the call. I will continue to believe. It is my hope that you will believe with me.


If you have any questions, please do not hesitate contact me at kenyadmorris@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for you support & generosity.

Sincerely,
Kenya D. Morris
