As some of you might remember, we raised funds last year to install one World Map and one Map of Africa in each of Cura Primary School's 8 classrooms. We can confirm that the maps are on display and in use! They are so valuable, actually, that now the teachers wish to have even more specific reference points and have added East Africa and Kenya wall maps to their wish list for classes 4 through 8.
We have already spent all of the money we came with (earmarked for "education") on also-needed and prioritized Science in Action textbooks for all 8 classes -- these have been ordered, and I've actually JUST gotten off the phone with Moses, confirming the invoice amount and the delivery date/time (Friday at 2pm)!
We'd love to be able to make one final gift of these wall maps if we can; they are running about KSh 2000 right now (that's about $25 each). So a commitment of $250 (from single or cumulative sources!) would allow us to confidently make that purchase...
If you're interested in helping with this before we leave (we'll have to do the shopping and delivery before 2 July), please do contact me at: hayden@curaorphanage.org.
Thanks for considering it!
