Our Committee
Our Committee
The PACK committee is made up of unpaid volunteers who absorb the entire cost of administration. This means that all donations are used for the benefit of the children suffering from Burkitt’s Lymphoma. Local funds are raised at annual events in the Mombasa community. These include a hugely popular quiz night, a Christmas carol concert, charity film premieres and a toy collection campaign.
Michelle came to Mombasa in 2002 with Greg (husband of 20 years) and four girls.
She spent 16 years in banking before becoming a missionary. She homeschools her girls and enjoys time with them. Her passion is teaching women.
Michelle joined PACK in Aug 2009 and is active in ward visits.
“I enjoy seeing the children and their faces when we visit the ward.”
Les Schwarz moved to Kenya in 2005 from Zimbabwe where she was a school teacher. She lives with her husband and has three grown up children. Les has an interest in gardening and is active member of a local church. She joined PACK in 2006 as she still wants contact with children.
