Teen’s Sweet 16 Party Saves Children In Kenya
HAMPTON, Va., August 23/ -- A Chesapeake, Va., teen’s decision one-and-a-half years ago to forsake a traditional “sweet 16” birthday party enabled her to fully fund the construction of a $30,000 church-orphanage in Kenya, providing much needed food, shelter, clothing and education for approximately 50 orphans in that country. Instead of presents, Megan MacDonald, age 18, requested party guests donate to the construction project which was overseen by Hampton, Va.,-based International Cooperating Ministries (ICM). MacDonald and her parents visited the facility in Kenya in January to attend the dedication service which was attended by more than 300 people. She is now a freshman at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Va.
