Lennox Family Gift
Brings Smiles
(and so much more!)
(and so much more!)
Greg Lennox and his family have made such a difference for the
Kaya children. With a recent gift of $30,000, they’ve provided Kaya with a
beautiful Toyota minivan (to replace one in disrepair) and some additional vehicle maintenance funds. When I asked Greg if
he could share his story, to perhaps inspire others, he was eager to
help. Here is his family’s story, as told by Greg himself!

A few years ago, we had the privilege of visiting La Paz with
our son, and spent time with the Kaya team. We continued to be impressed
by the integrity and humility of the leadership team and staff. It would
have been easier to just run a conventional orphanage, but Kaya is committed to
continually monitoring the effectiveness of its programs and making appropriate
adjustments. For example, Kaya shifted resources to support families in El
Alto, when they recognized that well-meaning orphanages, and even Kaya, can create
unintentional incentives for families to abandon their children.
Recently, we learned of the need for a new van to make the long
journey between the school in La Paz and the "suburban" location of
the boys' homes. We jumped at the chance
to help out. We remembered the old vans,
which had already seen a lot of use a few years ago...
Greg & Lillian Lennox along with their family (Meredith
& Nathan Chase, Emily, Natalie, Abigail and Christopher) have made such a
positive difference for Kaya. We feel so fortunate to have been blessed with
their friendship and support!
