CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. and Miss L'Arche Kenya 2021.

Saturday 31st August 2021 started like any other day in Nyahururu: shiny and unexpectedly chilly. The youth started arriving at Effatha home grounds first a trickle and later a deluge. By the end of the day, four youth had been crowned Miss and Mr, L’Arche Kenya.
