My Daraja Internship by Allison

Allison

Daraja completely changed my life! Why? Because it was the one and only time in my life that I was completely surrounded by people who loved me for who God made me to be. I was loved more if I didn’t put up walls and pretend to be something I wasn’t – something that is NOT true of the society we live in today. These kids love unconditionally and are a true reflection of the love our Father in heaven has for us. Daraja also helped me to realize my own insecurities and has helped me to embrace the things that I once saw as imperfections. The children brought irreplaceable joy to my life and taught me how to love with my whole heart and be slower to judge based on outside appearances. Working with Daraja taught me how to be a parent, a friend, a counselor, a chaperone, an administrative assistant, a coffee drinker, a free spirit, how to worship, how to dance, how to forgive, and how to love. If you want to change your life and never be the same again – this experience is for you!

I applied that day and was overjoyed to hear shortly back that I had been accepted to go. Our church gave us the book “If You Really Want To Help” and from there I fell in love with what 410 was doing for the people of Kenya, especially after reading the story of Chris in Kahuria.

Learnings From Kiu, Kenya

Our partnership with Kiu community started way back in 2009 making it one of the first communities to partner with the 410 Bridge since its inception in Kenya in 2006. 

At the 410 Bridge, we work through the community leaders who ensure continuity of the community’s development even after graduation. During our partnership journey, we walk alongside indigenous community leaders and church leaders as they mobilize and unify the community to participate in their own development – shifting their perspectives and owning the solutions.

Serving with Joy: A Week in Mutirithia, Kenya

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Kenya, allow me to do my best to try to put into words what an incredible life-changing experience that you really need to do at least once in your life. 

I was recently blessed to travel to Mutirithia, Kenya with an amazing group of 20 other Christian men to serve the families in that community over the course of a week. 

We prepared for weeks to make sure everyone understood the primary objective of the trip, which was to build upon relationships already formed in the community and to spread the Word to as many people as we could. 

Allow me to unfold a day-by-day glimpse of what we experienced:
