Here are some photos of the construction and what we've accomplished so far. Note the fence that was easily broken through by the thieves.
What we've done so far:
1. Replaced all door handles/locks
2. Replaced locks on the padlocks for the outer doors (the thieves had picked the previous locks, but these new ones are more secure)
3. Hired a Maasai guard for the night (with all of the publicity the orphanage is more vulnerable than ever)
4. Purchased cement, balast, sand, and bricks and hired several laborers who've begun construction of the security wall
What will we spend the rest of the money on?
1. Purchase of the property: this is the NUMBER ONE priority after the wall is complete. We've discussed it with the owners already and it will cost about $150,000.
2. Bunk beds for the children (they have mattresses they put on the floor).
3. Other things like food and charcoal, water and electricity, etc.
