Grandpa STORK is in Town, I exclaimed when Anthony Hall arrived at our office. That was 3 weeks ago and how time flies! Anthony Hall aka Grandpa STORK arrived three weeks ago to spend 3 weeks with our exceptional young men in exiting juvenile prison.
It has been a fun filled 3 weeks of activities where Grandpa STORK shared his life story, motivation and journey as a solution provider. This came in handy for our boys who believe and think that their prison sentence has shut the door in their faces.
Having met Anthony Hall on Facebook through a friend, Tracy Hanson, I was excited that he had come to Kenya. My joy tripled when he mentioned his intention to partner with Lifesong Kenya. This partnership would involve teaching our boys about the following:-
- using the REAAL Name language game
- creating Dragon EGGs
- discovering their potential
For me, I was just happy to know that Grandpa STORK is in town!
