We broke ground on classroom 6 today! There was a huge outpouring of support from the Kambi community. Parents, friends, and relatives left their farms to come help dig the foundation. The community understands that the classrooms are being built by generous donors and are doing everything they can to keep the costs down. Muthoga told me many times how happy it made him to see everyone there and how many people thanked him. They are trying hard to convince Muthoga to move his family back to Naro Moru (from Nairobi) so his young boys can go to school in the new classrooms!
The Kambi Primary School Renovation Project was first inspired by Wilderness Inquiry participants who experienced first hand the needs and aspirations of Kambi during a personal visit in September of 2006. Kambi serves around 320 students in facilities that are far from adequate. Today the Kambi project is run entirely by volunteers who donate their time and 100% of all money raised goes directly towards construction of classrooms.

West Gate
Hello Friends,
It has been a long week for all Kenyans and many other people across the world after this deadly siege. This was something that none of us expected but it happened. Although we do not frequent the mall with our visitors since is out of our way, my family often visits this mall, especially the Nakumatt since it is the nearest from where we live. People are still coming to terms with this incidence and we are hoping that a comprehensive report will be issued to answer all our unanswered questions. Thank you for your concerns on our safety.
Muthoga
