Raise the roof at Brydges Centre fundraiser

On their last day in Kenya, Nancy and Bob Brydges sit with five Daraja boys who live at the Brydges Centre. The Birchwood couple return to Kenya every winter to serve the children who live at the school and home they helped found. Daraja means bridge, Nancy said, or Brydges. Children with that last name were abandoned as babies.

A Welcome Home Celebration and Fundraiser for the Brydges is being held Saturday, May 6 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at 4 Front Atrium, 3510 Hopkins Place, Oakdale. The event is free to attend and will include live music, an African market, silent auction, dessert, and a program featuring photos and stories from the team working at the Brydges Centre.
