Classroom 3 Construction Begins Despite "These Economic Times"

12/2/2009 (entry by Andy Walz) - "These economic times" have made fundraising and travel to Africa tough this year. A small group of 5 did make it to Kambi in Septmember and we have raised $6,700. After much discussion we've decided to move forward with the construction of the 3rd classroom. We won't be able to finish it until we raise about $3400 more but materials are cheap right now and we need to take advantage of that. I will post pictures of the progress as soon as possible. Thank you to everyone who has given this year...this new building is bringing lots of hope despite the global recession.
