On the verge of my departure tomorrow, I received the
outstanding news that Cura Secondary School has been awarded two exciting grants from the generous and energetic
GO Campaign. In total, the grant awards amount to over US$21,000 and will furnish the high school's Library and Science Lab, building toward its goal to become a center for excellence in the region. I can't wait to land in Nairobi and start contributing to the incredible work that's already begun!
Watch this space for updates on these projects, as well as:
--the completion of the courtyard re-pavement project,
--the delivery of donated items for the Cura Clinic,
--an overhaul of the Cura Computer Lab,
--the purchase and donation of more textbooks for the Cura Primary School,
and MORE.
I'll head to the airport energized by the recent burst of sponsorship activity, as well, thanks to Norman's recent visit. His
Kenya Spare a Camera project has inspired new donors, and their contributions have added to those from our recurring sponsors... resulting in 40 of our 50 children being sponsored so far this year.
Many thanks to those of you who have contributed time, money, and talent -- not to mention toothbrushes, anti-bacterial soap and bandages, among other things. My excess baggage is bursting with your generosity.
Off I go.
