Almost done

The security wall is almost complete. Thanks to all who've donated through http://www.longonoteducation.org/donate.html

There is not enough to buy the property but we've raised at least enough for them to be secure for the next several years. With the wall, soon to have barbed wire, and a Maasai guard, the children, Omari, Auntie Becky and Momma Moraa can now sleep peacefully at night and not worry about what they're going to eat the next day.

Here are some pictures of the progress. As for myself, I've been trying my hand at being a stone mason. I made 16 bricks but I'm amazed at the rate at which these fundis can pump out the bricks! Its hard work, too. Enjoy these pics and God bless.

The construction:



Fundis taking a short break.


Thanks to Martha Nzisa for these amazing colouring books on Vultures! Who knew they could be so colourful.







Timo is strong!
