2nd Annual Agape Staff Appreciation Lunch

I won't hesitate to say that Agape has the best staff in all of Kenya!  We are so blessed to be able to work with such incredible people!  All together, we had 71 staff members show up for the lunch; what a turn-out!  Sutton, our official (unpaid) photographer, took over 800 photos, but here are some of the best from our 2nd Annual Staff Appreciation Lunch!
