Valley of Tumaini Children's Home
Reaching out to orphans in Kenya
MEET THE FOUNDERS
MR AND MRS CHEGE

MOSES CHEGE AND JULIA W. NYAGA
I was walking on a Sunday afternoon in Nairobi When I came along a picture posted on a side walkway with large writing
(WOULD YOU WALK AWAY)
I am sure most of you saw this picture. I later learned that the picture was taken by Kevin Carter. PULITZER PRIZE “winning photo taken during the Sudan famine.

The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards a United Nation Food camp, located a kilometer away. The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including Photog rapher Kevin who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken. Three months later he committed suicide due to depression
Click here to view the photo of the child
As I stopped to look at this picture what I saw has haunted my mind since then I could not help it but I broke down in tears right there. Kevin’s photograph became such an image for me personally, and with an image as emotionally powerful as this one, when I saw it, I was overcome with sorrow.
I later went to USA for further studies. Where I met my husband Moses, (then he was a fiancé) And one day I shared my dream of opening a children home in Kenya . I was not sure he would one day agree for us to move back to Kenya before we attained the American Dream. But he welcomed the idea and he promised that as soon as we get married we would move back to Kenya where we would open a children home... So when he proposed a hand in marriage I knew that he was the man I wanted to spend my life with since he had love and heart for orphans in Kenya .
That’s how Valley of Tumaini children's Home was born. (Tumaini is a Swahili word for (HOPE). Valley of Tumaini is a small seed that is planted on this earth, with hopes to grow in to a tree of strength and bear the fruits of hope to the children of Kenya . I realized it would take the whole community to network together for the common goal to make a difference in the life of the next generation. For that reason, I am seeking more dedicated souls who will join with us, who will walk with us, who will talk with us, and who would like to make a difference for orphans in Kenya who are dying of malnutrition and HIV.

Valley of Tumaini Children's home.. P.O Box 172 Njoro. Kenya.

The charity itself looks legit enough.

This is about as low as the lads get. Special attention courtesy of The Sunshin3 Society Charitable Trust coming this lad's way.

And the real Welbeck Hospital is a private cosmetic surgery outfit (www.lodonwelbeckhospital.co.uk)

I got the same email. I will respond just to see what their angle is. I went to the web site and Google'd the children's home and everything appears honest. Anybody who is moved enough to contribute to them can use Paypal.

The good old reverend D3rr1ck will come out of his sabbatical to see if there are any piggy's to be earned.

Interesting.
MR AND MRS C*H*E*G*E sent me a different message.
Special attention on the way.

Hello I'm New here! Joined: 17 Nov 2009 Posts: 6

So just to clarify: This is indeed a scam, correct?

I have had an angle I've been wanting to use, and this is a great set-up for my character. I want to make sure I'm not messing with a legitimate charity, though.

Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2009 8:47 pm

^^This is a scam because they are trying to direct us to a bogus doctor in London. I heard back from "M0se5" and "Ju1!a" and they got right down to business:

Quote:

Dear [my character],

Thanks for your assistance. For helping to save this girl’s life, God in his infinite mercies shall reward you greatly in Jesus name amen. I called Dr Edward; he said you should send the money to the Hospital by western union money transfer which is the fastest means of transfer to avoid Bank to Bank delay in this situation. His reason is that the girl’s condition is on a critical stage now, which does not require further delay. As soon as the hospital confirms the receipt of your donation from western union, the operation exercise will commence immediately to save life first.

Please send your donation to-Dr R!ng3r C. Edw@rd

The London Welbeck Hospital
27 Welbeck Street , London W1G 8EN .

Make use the following details:

Text question, money for what?

Answer: For Jane’s operations

As soon as you are through with the transfer, send to me the following info.
1. The control number
2. The amount sent
3. The name and address of the sender.

This will enable me forward it to Dr R!ng3r for immediate collection.His email address is:[email protected].

Please send it now.

Thanks for saving LIFE and May God reward you abundantly for giving cheerfully amen.

MR AND MRS CHEGE.

I am not familiar with medical practices in the UK, but would a private hospital withhold life saving surgery until they receive payment? Even with our efficient and rational Razz

system in the USA they would perform the surgery and then send a bill.

EDIT: redacted my character's name

I'll check a bit more but I think the websites fake.

If you click the link to the Dubai Bank you get a fake bank site which is on the same domain. Shocked

I think that makes it a little suspicious.

Here in UK NHS hospital would always perform life saving operation with no question of payment!!!

Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2009 3:19 am

^^^I feel better, especially after learning from Sunshine that Welbeck Hospital specializes in cosmetic surgery.

Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2009 2:40 pm

I'm also baiting this lot. I did a search for their e.mail address (welbeck) and it brought me straight to this page (without a login).

Might be worth leeting the e.mail address.

Special attention given... and look what I got:

MR AND MRS CHEGE

Here piggy piggy piggy.

Account duly reported. Smile

Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 8:46 am

Interesting
This lovely couple has sent me straight to the good doctor, but have given me email addies which are non existent. Twice.
I've written back asking if the good doctor has a problem and how worried I am about the little girl.

Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 11:35 am

^^^Maybe they know how to google!

I noticed this charity has an email address <[email protected]> interesting?!?

Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 4:16 pm

@psychibait: I heard from the good doctor. His address in the initial email was incorrect but in a follow up the Chege's gave me the correct one. You simply insert "@yahoo" just before ".com."

I was wondering what the little girl's afflictions are. According to Dr Ringer:

Quote:

The prognosis of Jane is that most of her disese are hereditary and will be corrected with this surgery.
Her mother had acute HBV at the time she gave birth to this girl and no vaccine was used. This lead to her problems.
The following are the operations she need to undertake.
1 Brain tumor diagnosis
2. Liver disease diagnosis
3.Heart vessel defects.
After this surgery, she will live peacefully again.
I assure you that she has 100% successful.(I'm an american Doctor)
The cost of the surgery is 25,000 pound. without proffesional fee. I use my proffessional fee as assitance for this little girl.

It is encouraging that these conditions can be alleviated through cosmetic surgery. If I ever suspect I have a brain tumor I will head for the nearest plastic surgeon.

Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 7:38 pm

^^^ I wouldn't rely on Dr Ringpiece though, not unless you have coughed up some cold hard cash first...

Quote:

Dear Sir,
Thanks for helping financially to save the life of this girl.
As soon as the transfer is made, forward to me a copy of the transfer slip, this will enable Welbeck Hospitals' financial adviser release this funds to the Hospital. once that is done, the surgery will commence immediately.
Waiting to hear from you soonest.

Sunshine, did you report the banking details to Alan? I got what appears to be identical info from Dr Ringtone and I don't want to bother Alan with a redundant report.

Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 10:07 pm

^^ I thought that more reports made it easier for Alan?! sort of more proof.

Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 10:14 pm

^^ Point taken. Preparing report.

Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2009 4:46 pm

Ahh...

Great to see this. (I've been out of town for a few days) Nice work!

The consummate proffessional doctor. Smile

....and as an American, any doubts I've ever had about our healthcare system have now vanished. Very Happy

eta, I'm gonna dig more into what Gomer mentioned.

Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2009 8:58 pm

@Sunshine, apparently Alan came through. I just got this from Doc Ringworm:

Quote:

Dear [Baiter],
Sorry to boder you here.This girl’s condition is on a critical stage now which does not require further delay.
please send the money to the Hospital by western union money transfer which is the fastest means of transfer to avoid Bank to Bank delay in this situation.Pay the charges from the amount you are donating. I will make up the diffrence here before delievery it to the hospital.

Of course, I got it too late. I just got back from the bank. They just called me and told me there is a problem with his account. They are closed for the day so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to go back . . . . Twisted Evil

I'll refrain from taking another piggy since I got the Dr's email just minutes after I sent my details to Alan.

I think your suspicions are sound.

Yesterday I sent an email to the web site to ask if they knew that their site was being used by scammers.

Today the email bounced.
