Happy Easter from our Girls!

April News

Easter at Hekima Place

Our girls would like to wish a blessed Passover and a very happy Easter to all who celebrated in April! Our girls attended church and then celebrated Easter at home with Mum Jenny, Bravon and other members of our Hekima family. Mum Kate is in the US, but she was close at heart on this special day!

This Easter was extra special for five of our girls: Rose, Scholastica, Sima, Maggie and Linet were baptized and received their First Holy Communion on Easter Sunday. We are so proud of how they have grown in their faith. Please pray that these girls- and all of our girls- may continue to develop closer to God and seek His will in their young lives.

Florida 6th Graders Host Auction

After hearing about Hekima Place through a presentation by board member Jim DiPiero, sixth grade students at St. Martha Catholic School in Sarasota, Florida hosted an auction for us. Led by Sister Cathy, the students brought toys, books and candy to class and then, with money given to them by their families, they bid on the items. The students raised nearly $3,000. We love it when kids help kids. Thank you to Sister Cathy and all of her fabulous students!

Founders' Day Celebration

It's not too late to join us for our Founders' Day Celebration!

Government Visit

A member of the county government came to investigate issues with rain water on the road leading to Hekima Place. As part of this work, he visited the home and school construction. He couldn't give higher praises for Hekima Place. He is going to prioritize repairing the road and he encouraged his colleagues to come and see how we care for, educate and empower girls.
