A blog and the above message were posted by former International Humanity Foundation volunteers and, most recently, sent via unsolicited e-mail to our sponsors, donors and volunteers, as a "smear campaign" in an attempt to close down our center in Nakuru, Kenya. We are greatly disturbed and saddened by this malicious attack on our organization and that they somehow obtained personal and confidential e-mail addresses.

Our children in Kenya are absolutely terrified that this small handful of people, that were brought in to help care for them, will succeed in closing down their home, as threatened to them. This is very harmful, mentally, to these children whom are now so afraid of being homeless.

Those who have not worked with international communities and children of tragedy cannot understand the undertaking IHF has in working to better the lives of children from the poorest communities. It takes dedication, hard work and a lot of patience to work through the red tape, corrupt governments and being able to recruit talented, dedicated, selfless people who will look beyond that that is out of their control and focus on the positive ways to make a lasting change for the children who are most in need.

We greatly appreciate your support of our programs and hope that we have not lost your trust or confidence in our organization.
