Thank you for your interest in the VRCE (Volas-Redd Center for Education). This construction project is taking place in Malava, Kenya.  It was the hope of patients, friends and family members of Dr. Gena Volas-Redd that we would be able to complete a school building on the campus of Tumaini Miles of Smiles Center. To surprise her for her 40th birthday, the staff of the International Sports Federation began to collect donations and has sent them to Tumaini Miles of Smiles Centre in Malava to help begin construction of a school building for 150 needy children. The ISF staff felt that this was the perfect way to honor such an amazing doctor who has meant so much to many, particularly the president of ISF whose cancer was treated by Dr. Volas-Redd.
We have constructed 6 permanent classrooms and we are remaining with

As a result of ISF's involvement with the Tumaini Center, they recently took a medical team to Kenya to work with the people in the Malava community. The team treated nearly 1,400 patients during the one week project. They are planning to return to Malava on October 2010.
