October update

This autumn has brought a new season for me, taking on a greater role to fulfill with more responsibilities. I am currently the only person locally in Kenya representing both James 127 Foundation and Judith & James. In addition, I am representing Jimani Collections as a go-to person.

I am continually thankful for these opportunities and responsibilities this presents. It has kept me busy, even busier than I was previously. I also continue to volunteer in my spare time at local orphanages and slums. Below is a picture of my mom and I in the Kibera slums, one of the largest slum in the world. On the right I am pictures with some of the kids at Mcedo school in the Mathare slum.

 


One of my favorite parts of what I do is continuing to build relationships with the staff, students, and employees at our Kasarani house. Being part of their lives and seeing the difference and change in them. Seeing joy spread through laughter or a smile. While learning jewelry or sewing. Below are some of the sewing and jewelry students.

October 1 Update

Hey sorry all it has been almost 3 months since I have written a blog post. I am now officially working as Judith & James' Production Manager. This means I supervise beginning and end of production. Organizing the clothing production order, finding the fabric/notions, quality checking on products, and packaging/sending products to the US.

As well, I am serving as the James 127 Foundation's Communications Manager. That entails media footage, sponsorship updates, and social media. In addition, I help serve in any needed operational or managerial roles.

Below is a picture of me and the J127 trainees. In the top photo are the 7 jewelry trainees and on the bottom are our 10 sewing trainees.
