Get a Vision - Change the World!
It only takes a spark to get a fire going..." Those were words I used to sing from my old youth choir days. Clara's testimony below is an example of what can happen when we grab hold of the spark and put some action to it - who knows what God will do. Here is how that spark started for Clara.
I started The Transformation Initiative (TTI) when I returned from my first trip to Kenya. On that trip I met a woman named Rachel who changed my life. She was HIV positive, had three children, no way to make a living and she was dying. She lived in a slum in the most horrible conditions I had every seen. Over the course of my trip and after doing some research upon my return, I learned that Rachel's story is not unique. There are about 1billion people on the planet in the same situation. I was compelled to do all I could to get involved in helping women like Rachel and the children that are orphaned as a result of Aides. Rachel died in December of 2007. I started "The Rachel Project" in her honor. The goal of the project is to provide food, clothing, medical care and other basic things to children that are left on their own after their parents die from AIDS. TTI is working in partnership with a local non profit in Kenya that supports a large number of HIV orphans. We try to send $200.00 every month to help support these kids.
