Community Briefs
Nonprofit welcomes volunteers
Partnering for Progress, a Spokane-based non-profit, organizes two trips to Kenya every year in the fall and early winter. P4P works with community leaders and citizens in villages, schools and clinics on a variety of projects including health, education, water/sanitation and economic development to break the cycle of poverty and disease.
Volunteer opportunities are available for medical professionals, educators, engineers and business people to share their expertise and make a difference in the lives of many people in south Kenya. Volunteers pay their own expenses which are approximately $2,800.
In addition, P4P is holding their annual fundraising dinner and auction Oct. 10 at the Mirabeau Park Hotel. Attendees can learn about P4P's programs while enjoying an African-themed dinner and auction. Tickets are $65 per person and can be purchased at www.intoafricaauction.org.
