IWIL Kenya Service Trip Fundraiser

Illinois Women in Leadership (IWIL) will hold a fundraising dinner on Sunday, May 19, to raise money for an all-female team to travel to Kenya this July. The IWIL team will provide motivational talks to teen girls at a girls’ boarding school and at a girls’ rescue center, spend time at an elementary school and nursing home, and build a dorm block at a girls’ high school. Donations will cover materials for the dorm block build, supplies for the girls’ rescue center and nursing home and scholarships for the elementary school and girls’ rescue center. The authentic African dinner will be created by chef Kimsimone Manning, owner of Seoul 4 Soul in downtown Springfield. Kim is well-known for her fabulous recipes and has worked in the culinary world for more than 22 years. The cost is $55 and registration will close on Friday, May 10. No walk-ins will be allowed.
