2018 Brenda Rides Again!
Dr. Brenda Trenholme, sister of KEEF Board member Janice, started off May 12, 2018 on a 13,000 km cycling trip from China to Turkey. The Tour d’Afrique team completed this incredible 5 month journey as scheduled on October 3. Brenda's fund raising goal is the same as her 2016 Tour d'Afrique trip - to raise $20,000 toward the education of KEEF students. Watch for announcements of Brenda’s slide presentations in the coming months.

2016: A new KEEF Tust Fund - The Alinda Ware Post Secondary Bursary Fund
Alinda Ware has lived about half of the year in Kakamega, Kenya for the past 18 years, volunteering for several charitable organizations in support of secondary and post secondary Kenyan students. She helped to establish KEEF in 2004 and for many years, KEEF has benefitted from her efforts and expertise.
When visiting friends in Whistler recently, she was offered a donation of $10,000 to support her work in Africa. Alinda's first thought was to direct the donation to KEEF and to set up a trust fund to provide bursaries to bright students who could not attend post secondary without some assistance. The KEEF Board agreed, and we have set up the new fund under the umbrella of the Vancouver Foundation.
The new Alinda Ware Post Secondary Bursary Fund is expected to grow through donations and the earnings will provide bursaries for many years to come. Thank you Alinda, and thank you to this generous donor!
