In July, a woman with Bluffton connections, Julie Hostetler Graber, will travel to Kenya to share her teaching experience with the staff of the Mathare Menno Kids Academy.

The Academy is a nursery through eighth grade school located in Mathare, a poverty-stricken area of Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa.

Julie was born while her parents, Don and Joyce Hostetler of Bluffton, were serving as volunteers in neighboring Tanzania. She has developed a lasting interest in the children there. This will be her third visit to Africa as an adult.
