One of Trudi's dreams after she graduated was to go to Africa and teach school. This was a passion of hers and she talked about often. The accident and her death left it as an unfilled dream.This year Scott, her eldest brother, became involved with a volunteer group that goes to Kenya and builds school in the poverty regions there. As time drew near for his departure he asked if we had any left over shirts from last years 5K that he could take. Clothing was not on the list of donations requested as the organization did not want there not to be enough for all and did not want to leave a child without.Scott explained about Trudi and was allowed to give them to the children of one school. He then talked to the children about Trudi, what had happened to her and her dream. He encouraged them to get as much schooling as they could to thus keep Trudi's dream alive.Here are some of the pictures of the kids and the t-shirts.
