Great work. Is there a way for Canadian residents to donate?

I saw the segment on CNN and was moved by the description of your experience on that Thursday – and children so hungry they couldn’t sit up
without fainting. I am interested in helping, and in knowing details of what
% of donated funds reaches the children directly. Would you give me some help with this?
Thanks so much.

Hi Karen
Our mission takes out 5% of every dollar donated. All the rest goes to the food.

Hello Mr. Peifer! I love what you are doing and helping making the world a better place. Not only are you feeding children but you are giving them a future.
I’m still in school and Ive always wanted to go somewhere in the world and make a difference like you have. So my question is, is there a way that I could come to Africa during my summer breaks so that I could help the cause. Im knowledgeable in computers and love working with children and I feel that I could help greatly. Im sure funds are tight so I will even scrape up funds to pay for my tickets and my own cost of living.
Thanks

Mr. Peifer!, may God be with you and in everything you do, thank you so much for answering his call and feeding our children in Kenya, I became aware of you in the CNN award ceremony that you righfully deserve. Once again may God bless you and you and your ministry will be in our prayers.
Thank you.

Just saw the CNN award ceremony by “chance.” I think God wanted me to see it and be inspired. I will be donating tonight.
God bless, your work love for God is inspiring.

Is there a way for a woman who is at a crossroads in her life and career (that would be me!) to volunteer with this program? I have always yearned to help children in need. When the Tsunami hit, I wanted to go to Indonesia, when the AIDS crisis was killing millions of children, I wanted to go to Africa. But the demands of a Wall St. job and other responsibilities always prevented me from taking the plunge. Seeing your story on tonight’s “CNN Heroes” show, I feel so compelled to find out how I can give of myself. Money is too easy, time makes more of a difference. Please contact me!! and thank you for all of your tremendous, selfless giving to a population that needs so much.

Hi Steve,
I grew up in Kenya in a small remote village near Kijabe. I watched your nomination on CNN and could not help but be emotional for all you are trying to do for those kids. Your story rings home because I went through the same experience growing up.
I would love to be a part of your cause. Please contact me.

Hi Steve,
I was also very touched by your story and the heroic work you and your wife are doing in Kenya for God’s children. I hope my small donation will help, but I would also like to give of myself to support your team. Please provide a link to a site, or let me know how I might be be able to help you more directly.
Thanks for all that you do – your service to our Lord is truly an inspiration.
In Christ,
Jimmy

Steve,
As I write this to you I am watching the CNN awards show which as you know honored you and many other amazing people. All of you make me proud to be a member of the human race yet at the same time cause me to reflect on my life and realize that there is so much more that I can and must do to improve this planet and the lives on it. I am a 43year old living in Southern California and am a retired Navy SEAL, having spent my entire adult life serving my country. For the past two years I have been part of a non-profit ministry to the military, but due to financial issues have been forced to find work outside of that. I am moved by you and your work and want to see if there is any way in which I can help you. While is impossible for me to help financially what I do have to give is myself along with the skills and experiences gained during a lifetime in the military. Not just in conflict, but also security, teaching, mentoring, Honor and Integrity. Please give some serious thought to finding a way for me to apply my many skills to help you and your cause for feeding and educating the children of Kenya and all of Africa and let me know if I can assist your worthy mission.

Hey Peifer family,
My name is Blake and I have been extremely touched by your efforts. I am currently a college student in Colorado but I have been questioning my motivation. I have this deep need to really help people and make a difference. I have looked at organization but i haven’t seen any as pure as yours. I would really love to be able to help your efforts in Africa and I would love the oportunity to come help in any way possible. I know your extremely busy but if you have any time I would be honored to hear from you.
Regards,
Blake Osborn

Dear Peifer family!!
Your work and devotion, accomplishments and faith, have pushed me even more so into becoming active both in my Church and in the University that I attend here in Washington state. I heard this quote once that I think might have determined the rest of my life and led me into studying Nursing! It read; “There is no higher calling in life, than serving others.” And when I see what you and your family are doing, I see that God is using you in the most perfect and wonderful ways in which I think we were all intended for!! I wanted to ask you sir, if there was something directly I could do,traveling wise. It just feels like God has really laid it on my heart to get in contact with you, and see if there was any way in which you could direct me. Congratulations on receiving the CNN Heroes Award, I hope that money will help you in more ways then you ever could have imagined! God Bless you and your family!

Well, I have already said that you are truly heroes. Your staments about how Africa impacted you has made me reflect and knowing I have been blessed with many special skills and abilities; I cant help but find myself reconsidering where I might go in 2008 and whose lives I can touch. Thank You for inspiring others.

Being a student, how can I help your mission?
I believe God is very happy in what you are doing right now. Keep it up. You inspired me to be of service.
I would like to be part of it.

I was so moved by your story on CNN, that I wanted to know more!! I am a Licensed Practical Nurse living and working in Vancouver, British Columbia,Canada, and always wanted to volunteer or work in Africa. My question is, are there possibilities for someone like me to be able to work/volunteer in the area that you are so involved in? Are there programs that support such? If not I would like to make a donation. Thank you for such an inspiring story, and continue the good fight.

Pam – I was just reading through the email on Kenyakids can…. If you have not found a mode of getting involved, get in contact with Samaritans Purse. They send nurses all over the place. They have helped us take ENT teams to Kijabe Kenya. God Bless

Steve: Thanks for being such a Christlike example to the world. What you and your family have done is such an amazing sacrifice. I am 37 yrs old and want to help both financially and with hands on time. How is it possible for volunteers to help on the ground in Kenya serving in any way possible even if it is for a short term basis? Thanks and God Bless you!

Steve and Family: First, pongezi sana (congratulations!) for your win as a CNN HERO for your efforts in providing hope and opportunity for young children in Kenya. You are an inspiration and a testament on what is possible for our common humanity. Second, I am planning on a trip to Kenya in July of 2008 on behalf of my organization from the USA. Africa Matters International (AMI) is a nondenomiational, nonpartisan, and nonprofit organization dedicated to the effort of poverty eradication and the promotion of human security in Africa and beyond. We would love to come and visit you in Kijabe and take a look at your transformation upclose. Anyone who’s willing and able to travel to Kenya for two weeks from the US in late July, please contact me at dkmutai@hotmail.com or info@africamattersinternational.org for more details and information on our organization and the trip. Note: Our website is under construction.
It takes ordinary people to do extra-ordinary things. I thank all of you for your interest and investment in Africa’s future.

Steve, Nancy & Family, It’s amazing to me that it’s been more than 11 years since I met you at AIM headquarters in Pearl River with my brother. We’ve been faithfully praying for your family and these amazing ministries & spreading the word for these many years. Now, my husband Gary and I want to be part of this “Tipping Point” that you expressed in your recent newsletter. May God continue to use you and these feeding and computer programs to bless the children of Kenya and raise up a new generation of healthy, empowered and on fire for Jesus kingdom builders! Come Jesus!
