News | When charity begins far away from home

News | When charity begins far away from home: "er name may not ring a bell in the minds of many Kenyans, but for more than 2,000 destitute and HIV/Aids orphans, Mrs Darleen Johnson is a pillar of hope.

The retired American High School teacher is in the country to visit the 97 orphanages that she supports.

Upon her retirement early this year, Johnson sold her property in America to strengthen her charity mission in Kenya.

During her teaching career at Hanford West High School, friends tried to teach her the meaning of the word 'no'. Johnson never learnt, says her husband, Mr Johnson, when we bumped into them at Hopewell High School in Nakuru where she runs ‘Sponsor a Teacher’ project."
