WEST MICHIGAN (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – A West Michigan brother and sister team is making huge strides in changing lives.
They've assembled a team of local volunteers to help inspire, educate, and empower children in an impoverished village in Uganda.
Their efforts have already scored their group international recognition.
Tara McKinney Adam Stubbs formed a non-profit group called 4 One World and are helping a Ugandan village repair and enhance its only school.
Through their grassroots efforts, the group has already raised enough money to build a computer lab in Kampala. That's prompted the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization to rank their work number one among African schools for incorporating information technology in education.
Now, a big event in downtown Kalamazoo will help launch their new project to build a school in the remote village of Chiboba.
"The whole community rallied around these children to build them the school and we want to take what they've started and help foster another success story for 4 One World," said Stubbs.
Thursday night at the Kalamazoo Institute of Art, 4 One World will be offering African and local art for sale. There will also be music, dance, and much more.
You can learn more about 4 One World at their website www.4oneworld.org.
