Albany Businessman Ken Drawdy Visits Christian School in Africa
Monday, August 12th, 2013
It was a summer vacation more exotic than Disney World or Universal Studios, and something more than that. Ken and Stephanie Drawdy journeyed to South Africa in July for a big-game safari. They took along their kids, Daylor, 8, and Abi, 4, as well as Ken’s mother and stepfather, Julian and Ruth Whiting.
Ken had hunted in various parts of Africa three times before, he said, and this time he wanted to give Daylor a chance to make some new additions to their trophy room back home. “We have quite a collection by now,” Ken Drawdy said. “Daylor took 14 of 21 animals on this trip.” The trophies taken at the game preserves they visited included cape buffalo, eland, warthog and zebra, Drawdy said.
One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to the Plumb Line Christian School, Ken Drawdy said. The school with its 90 students, 38 from serious poverty, exists in Tarkastad, a small town on the remote Eastern Cape. Drawdy had become aware of Plumb Line on a trip more than six year earlier.
