Lexington Academy in Massachusetts decided to make their Senior Prom a night of special good to more than themselves.  They solicited businesses in their city for assistance and program advertising to raise money for Hekima Place.  The prefects committee of dedicated men and women raised a great deal of money for the children and we are very grateful. 

Congratulations and thank you to Taylor Matsalia and her committee!

The Bower Hill Community Church outdid itself with their Touch of Africa event.  The food was delicious; the drumming was energizing, (though the Board Members striving to dance with abandon left a great deal to be desired) and the storyteller mesmerized everyone with her own story of the first day she spent  in a previously segregated school.

Our thanks to all the people on the Mission Committee.

We are happy to announce that in November, 2007 the Visa Hermosa foundation has awarded a grant to Hekima Place.
