Thank you to Youth Enhancement and Training Initiative (YETI) for supporting Westminster Neighborhood Services as a Pantry Shelf Sponsor for fruits & vegetables.

Fresh produce plays a vital role in helping our Near Eastside neighbors access nutritious food, and this support helps ensure our pantry shelves are stocked with healthy options for the families we serve.

YETI and Campo East Africa Safaris teamed up again recently to assist the Siyiapei Childrens Home in Kenya. Open, unsecure shelving for the childrens' belongings have been replaced with secure, individual storage units. Prior collaboration between YETI and Campo East Africa Safaris provided a wheelchair, new bed mattresses, and electric fans for the girls' dormitory.

The YETI Orphanage in Nepal was constructed in 2003-04, and the first children arrived in 2005. From time to time, repairs and improvements are needed to the structures and amenities. In September, 2023, YETI sent funding to accomplish various repairs and upgrades: electric wiring management, replacing bulbs and fans, repairs to kitchen tables and storage, repair and replacement of beds, and repairs to the study room tables and chairs. This is all in addition to an earlier project to paint and repair interior and exterior walls and structures. Members of the YETI board visited the children and inspected the repairs in October, 2023. Thanks for your generosity that makes all of this possible for the children!

The girls' dorm at the Siyapei Childrens Home in Kenya was a stifling hot environment. YETI and Campo East Africa Safaris worked together this week to purchase and install a series of ceiling fans to make the space much more liveable.
