Jewelry Graduation


This month we at James 127 Foundation graduated our first jewelry training program! It was a wonderful time of celebrating all the graduates have accomplished and what they had learned in the past ten months of the class. As most Kenyan graduates go, it was a great time of celebration.

All of the J127, Jimani, and Judith&James women were there to be join the graduation. In addition the families of the graduates came. We had a few speakers including my dad and Anna Taylor, founder of James 127 Foundation. We also had a powerful time of prayer. The graduates danced so free, happier than I have ever seen them before. It gave me so much joy to see. Below is a video of the five graduates dancing. 

I am very excited to see what lies ahead of their futures. My hope is that each of the jewelry graduates can take what they learned in training and use it to make a difference in their lives, families, and communities. They will be missed but I look forward to visiting them after they go. Please pray for these five ladies as they make the transition out of the Kasarani house to find local jewelry work.
