The purpose or objective of the Beacon Children Club is to present students with an opportunity to realize the positive influence and life changing impact they can have in another persons life, particularly a person of meager circumstances such as the village children in the Kibwezi region of Kenya. (remote area between Nairobi and Mombasa)
The Club goal of the Beacon Children Club is to engage the students in the concept, design, fundraising and ultimately the construction of a “Resource Center” in the Kibwezi Region of Kenya.
The resource center will house school reference materials as well as the regions first computers. These computers will link the students at PCHS to the students in Kenya and enable the first direct interface these students in Kenya have ever experienced. (They do not even know what a computer is yet).
Ultimately, the goal would be to take the club members as well as any faculty or parents who wish to participate, to Kenya (under the direction of Beacon Humanitarian International, a local non profit organization who is presently engaged in building schools in this region) to construct from the ground up, the actual “resource center” which they designed. This is where fundraising will be key.
COSTS & Requirements The goal is to raise enough money to cover the travel costs of each student, advisor and BHI escort, as well as the building costs of the resource center. If we are not able to raise the money to cover all the costs, there may be some out of pocket cost to the student for travel.
