1/29/2008 (entry by Andy Walz) - Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Kenya. At a time when many are mourning the tragic loss of their brothers and sisters, and the stability of their country--there is at least one small community with something else to think about. Two new classrooms are nearly complete at Kambi Primary School. Two classrooms does not seem like much but especially in the face of what is happening in greater Kenya the community of Kambi has something to be thankful for, excited about, and reason to hope. Click on the slideshow above for a tour of the construction from the begining right up until the last WI group, led by Emily and Muthoga, was able to visit the second week of January.
CONSTRUCTION BEGINS!!
We still need your help. There are several factors working against us since we did the budget and we've come up short: A) The USD has been hovering between 60 and 65 Ksh when it is normaly above 70 B) The price of fuel and supplies has shot up dramatically since the elections. C) We made some additional decisions as we went such as addiing wiring for electricity and higher quality roofing to withstand the storms of Mt Kenya for years to come.
We've set a goal to raise $4325 USD in February in order to complete the project without accruing debt. Every little bit helps and we thank you for any help you can give.
