Kezia Scherer-Berry has already invested huge chunks of time in planning her senior project. Now she’s asking others to consider investing.
She needs $3,000, and she already has saved about $1,000 of her own money from working as a waitress. The cost is mostly for airfare to go to Uganda in central Africa in June, where she will serve for 10 days working with children and youth at a United Methodist mission. Her mother, the Rev. Stormy Scherer-Berry, pastor of the local Petersville United Methodist Church, will travel with her daughter for her own part of the mission work.
Part of the 18-year-old honor student’s fundraising plans recently hit a snag when she was involved in a serious auto accident and suffered injuries that have left her unable to work.
She organized a recent Fat Tuesday pancake supper that inched her closer to her goal. Any money she raises beyond the $3,000 mark will help her mom cover expenses, too.
