We're proud of our Petra B students' performance in Nairobi! 🤍

Kenya's school system is embracing a new push for electives and extracurricular activities.

Through Torchgrab Africa contacts, Heather from Littleton, Colorado recently traveled to Nairobi, Kenya. She met with various churches and visited Petra School on the Rock (Location B), where she created fun dance routines with the students to perform.

Petra School on the Rock is eager to expand on dance as an elective, and our next Torchgrab Africa team will build on its momentum in summer of 2027!

“Hope is the very first step out of poverty.”

William Probst (grade 11) ended his Empty Bowls essay with this striking statement.

This week, and Hammond Homeschool partnered with Torchgrab Africa for its first-ever Empty Bowls Fundraiser!

For several weeks, students researched the effects of poverty on children around the world. The Empty Bowls project encouraged not only awareness, but action.

As students wrote essays influenced by their insights, they also painted two bowls - one to be sold at the fundraiser for Petra School students and one to keep as a reminder of the project.

A bowl is a simple object. But in the hands of these students, it became a reminder to ask:

What does it mean to notice hunger?
What does it mean to respond?

Our June newsletter is coming soon! To learn more about this event and read William’s full essay, drop a comment or message to join our mailing list 💌

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

The Empty Bowls Project weaves together multiple disciplines—art, social studies, English, and Bible—creating a holistic educational experience rooted in empathy and purpose. In the slums of Nairobi, many families deal with hunger and empty bowls every day. Berean HSE and Hammond Homeschool are partners in this initiative to instill compassion in our students through making a difference in the lives of students at our sister school, Petra School on the Rock in Kenya!

More about the SEED MONEY PROJECT:

This annual project has generously supported the vision of Torchgrab Africa for decades. It also provides students at FRCS a proactive opportunity to make a difference and serve as missionaries within their own local communities, while also supporting and empowering students like themselves across the world!

We are so grateful for our wonderful partnership with and thankful for their faithful generosity over so many years! This year’s donations have been instrumental in the development of our newest school, Petra Torchgrab School, in Mombasa.

A BIG thank you to the students and staff at !

We are grateful for our partnership with Berean Homeschool Enrichment! Under the guidance of Kimberly Probst (director), students used their creativity and talents to sell crafts and services to raise both awareness and funds for Petra Torchgrab School in Mombasa, Kenya.

The funds were allocated to building improvements as well as providing protein-rich porridge for our children at Petra Torchgrab School.

Our Porridge Partner program is a vital source of daily nutrition across all Petra Schools. As our newest school grows, we’re seeking more partners to help provide these meals. It's a simple, practical way to make a lasting difference.
