Summer 2026 Kenya Trip

John Gill, Chair of the US-based board that supports the Nambale Magnet School will be leading a trip to Kenya in July 2026 which will include several days at the school. There is the possibility for members of the Christ Church parish to join this trip. NMS was founded by Rev. Evalyn Wakhusama, an Anglican priest in Kenya who has visited Christ Church several times in recent years. Rev. Evalyn earned her M.Div. at Yale Divinity School a few years before Rev. Claire and they have become friends over the years. Rev. Evalyn was raised in a rural region of Kenya and after earning her degree from Yale she went home to found a school serving primarily children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. NMS is now thriving and serves almost 400 students from preschool through High School, including both boarders and day students. The school has received outreach grants from Christ Church’s outreach committee and is a sister school with Ventana. If you have any interest in exploring the opportunity to visit NMS next summer, please contact Rev. Claire (claire@ccla.us).
