It was an evening of elegance and fun at the 3rd Annual Adopt a Village Black Tie Gala on Saturday, September 10.  Guests gathered and enjoyed a delicious meal and silent auction all to support the Helping Hands Foundation and their mission to help eliminate hunger and homelessness around the world. Ambassador Dr. Wenwa Akinyi Odinga Oranga, Consul General of Republic of Kenya Los Angeles was the evening’s guest speaker. Proceeds from the Gala will go towards building a clinic, school and water-well for the Kamreri Okumba village in Kenya, which will break ground in December of this year.
