One World Chorus CD Complete!

Our friends at One World Chorus have announced the completion of the "Welcome to the Village" CD, featuring children from Cura Primary School!

Charmed

Here's how I wear MY Melinda Maria charm... on a silver necklace (on loan from my daughter) and with my great-grandmother's wedding ring (circa June of 1912).

I've gotten a spate of compliments on this particular piece of jewelry recently, so I thought I'd remind you all that you, too, can wear one (in your own way, of course).

Melinda Maria designed this just for Cura and donates a percentage of the purchase price; you can get yours at

Progress and Celebration

This is what a hand-dug hole for a septic tank looks like! The work is well under way, and Will tells us that the major hold up in the process has been securing materials at a pace that matches that of the workers and their plans. The secondary school is beginning to actually look like one, though, and there is lots of reason to celebrate....

Which is exactly what has begun:

This is what will be the administration office, being christened with a goat-roast. I'm usually a vegetarian, but I make an exception for nyama choma... I wish I could have been there!

Many thanks to Will for these updates and photos -- and to Henry for keeping Will on his toes!

Are you ready for some football?

Cura United v Kahuho FC match on Saturday -- thanks, Gilbert!

And thanks to Cura well-wishers in Virginia, Cura United will be receiving new jerseys in June!

Kenya Spare a Camera

Please contact volunteer-extraordinaire, Norman Golightly at normiego@aol.com to purchase one of the incredible prints he's made through his Kenya Spare a Camera project in Cura. Some of the photographs are his, others were taken by the children, and all will provide much needed funding for the Home.

I own "Ghost Dress"... There's got to be one you'll love, too!
