(ChristianNewswire) – A teenager in Chesapeake, Virginia decided to cancel a “Sweet 16″ birthday party and instead help orphaned children in Kenya. Megan MacDonald asked friends and family to donate money for the construction of a $30,000 church-orphanage in Kenya. A year and a half later…she has fully funded the orphanage providing for 50 orphans in that country. She was able to visit the new building this year. MacDonald worked with Virginia based International Cooperating Ministries (ICM).
