November Update!

We recently traveled to the project that first sparked our initiative in Kenya, the Longonot Education Center. We were excited to hear than since the construction of the school in early 2012, attendance has increased from just 48 students to 75! We have since provided a salary for a third teacher who has been teaching the oldest group of students who are now preparing to enter a government public school. While visiting we dropped off a large box full of school supplies for all of the kids! The school is doing better than we ever imagined; the teachers and the entire community are still so grateful for their new building. They are even using the classroom as a public polling station and volunteer HIV testing and counseling center for the town.

Construction of the new classroom and four new toilets for the Living Positive Daycare Center is expected to begin by the end of this month. The construction is expected to take just under three months, so the children will have their new class by February 2014!

To send off our team member Portia with a proper farewell, we took the boys from Ahadi Education Center to dinner for roasted meat (nyama choma) at a local restaurant to appreciate their hard work over the last two and a half months.

As 2013 winds down we are still working hard to complete the Faraja Sponsorship Program by the beginning of the first term in January and will have more announcements on this project soon.  We hope you will continue to follow the progress of all of our projects by following us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
