Technology – you gotta’ love it!
Now that we are back to a speedy internet I thought this video was fun. It was a weekday during the school break (which was for one week). Tati' (in front), Caffe (in back) and Muuo (Caffe's uncle) were in the office with nothing to do so I turned on the webcam on my...
What a trip!
Where do I start!? Being back home has been somewhat of a shock. Last night going to bed (around 2:30 in the afternoon and waking up around midnight!) I felt exposed because of no mosquito net! Having the internet work so quickly that I don't have a chance to get tea...
Coming Home!
Hi everyone! It is now 6pm here in Tala and we are just getting ready to leave for Nairobi. I don't have any pictures because everything is packed away, but I will show you some pictures when I get home. It was a tearful goodbye with the kids, Ruth and Catherine. I'm...
What’s Up and happenin’!
Here’s a picture of the first floor going up quickly. Your help has made this possible and the kids are really excited to see the building knowing that the new classrooms will be there. The next picture is of the new stove. It can handle cooking for 400 kids! Ann, the...
Weekend Update to today!

God is Good!
What a glorious morning! First we visited some of the recipients of AfricaShare (they are a micro-finance group). They were both very happy with the loans they’ve received and both were on their third loan! So they have been able to increase their business while...
Quiet day at school
It sure is quiet around here with all the kids gone! We have a lot of projects in the works though so things are moving quickly here. One major project is the new kitchen. We wanted to wait for break so that meals wouldn’t be affected. This is the outside which won’t...
Thanksgiving for His blessings!
We visited a couple of families today after church. The poverty still shocks me when I see how people are living. One of our students, Evelyn, lives with her aunt and grandmother along with about five other children. Their story is a sad one, there are sad stories...
Another progress report on the gate! Every Friday the students split into two groups (nursery – class 3 and class 4 – class 8) and have devotionals. They sing, dance, and have a bible reading, discussion and prayer. I joined them and enjoyed singing and dancing with...
Visiting and interviews
Electricity has been on and off the past couple of days. After I posted the last blog entry it went off again for a couple of hours! That was on Monday and now on Wednesday it just went off at the school so we are testing our knowledge of how to turn it on (Chuck and...
