WHO IS THIS BOY? Where is he from? What are his prospects?
EUGENE ONCHIRI wants to be an engineer. BIG PROBLEM: He lives in the largest slum in Africa and can’t afford the fees for an outside, boarding high school. No sponsor; no further schooling for this promising lad.
Kibera is NOT a tourist attraction. Plastic bags are everywhere, and you don’t want to know what’s in them.
Anajali—God Cares—is an elementary school of over 500 students, there in the slum.
Anajali wants to build a high school these young graduates can afford. They have land and a well but need upwards of $8000 to get electricity to the site.
I and Anajali’s founder, Anne Blodgett, have a Plan to raise that money. My fifth novel, Dynamo, is pretty much dead in the publishing waters, and we have roughly 300 copies to put to good use. Here’s the deal: We will “GIVE” you a copy, in exchange for a $15 or more donation to Anajali, S&H included. Do you have ten, or even five friends, who would like to read a whompin’ good novel—especially for such a good cause? Think birthdays, Christmas, whatever.
And with the CVirus on top of us, what better entertainment than Dynamo?
What’s the novel about?
Dynamo is complex. One layer is horses and the high-stakes world of horse shows and stable intrigue; another layer is the good, bad, and ugly of human relationships; but the bedrock layer is the sovereign God who interacts with Jeth in unusual and unpredictable ways.
“I learned a lot about horses and relationships, both horizontal and vertical. A must read!! Don’t plan on sleeping tonight!”–Ted Steele. 
TAPHY BRINER wants to be a doctor. A slum child, yes, but she and Eugene desperately want a chance to learn. Will you help build that high school? It won’t be ready for these two, but hopefully, for others like them, down the road.
Please contact Anne or me and tell us know how many books you can turn into donations for this high-school project. (Donations without a book are okay, too!)

PLEASE . . .
Leave it to you Ellie, to be thinking of the least fortunate during these tumultuous times. My natural instinct is to cling to what I have in the face of uncertainty. My old poverty mentality has kicked right in. I stood in front of a well-stocked paper toilet aisle and obeyed the voice of God who assured me that I already had plenty, so I walked away. But it was hard!!
We need people like you to remind us that we still have plenty to share. Keep talking sense to us, dear Ellie. There are other loud voices that are telling us we won’t have enough. We have been so spoiled for such a long time, this is a learning curve.I love you and hope you and Jim are doing well. I have minor cold symptoms so I am stuck in solitary for now. I am praying for everyone, and will pray hard about sending a donation. God bless us, every one!!💗
Wonderful idea…I will share!
What a wonderful, forward-thinking plan. I will send a check.
Also, if anyone reads the comments – 𝘋𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘰 is an awesome book, I loved it, and I’m not a horse person. Not even 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘦 or (don’t shoot me) 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘉𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘺. Definitely a good way to pass some of your cooped-up time.
Your idea is noble Ellie.I am praying for more people to be touched to share the little they have for the destitute
Children of Kibera. Kibera being the largest Slum in Africa and “Anajali” is the light of Jesus in Kibera; Almighty God will listen to the cries of the children. There are several challenges. Poor families live in there. As the world fight covid-19 Pandemic, my heart in prayer is in Kibera and
several other, ” Chokoras”. May the Lord feed them. I will sent the little money I get to Anajali.
Bill Hunter: I have sent a check today (4/6) and hope it helps.
