The kitchen is built - Now where do we eat?

When we officially and ceremoniously opened the doors to the new kitchen in November 2017 everyone was ecstatic - with good reason! The kitchen is modern, clean and easy to keep clean. Cooking huge meals in the giant cookers for about 480 - 500 children is a breeze compared to former times when the mamas were mainly cooking outside over an open fire or in a small shed behind the school. That certainly was not easy when it was raining or storming. Everyone is happy and very, very appreciative with this wonderful kitchen. But now the question is: How long must the children go on eating in the dusty make-shift "room"? Well, it isn't really a room. It's more like an over-sized wooden shed with tables and chairs and a dirt floor. During the current dry season it is not only dusty - it is also windy. Dust and wind are not a good combination when a room has no doors or real windows (that open and close).

It's time to get back to the drawing board! There is a large door and window at the front of the kitchen which is meant to go out to the dining hall one day. And that day really should be sooner than later. We are now raising funds for the dining hall so that the chldren can eat in a clean and hygienic environment. As it will be built directly attached to the kitchen, the concept is that meals will be served over the counter through the large window. It will be a very large dining hall so that at least 200 children can eat at once. The dining hall will also be used for other school activities and meetings.

Wouldn't it be amazing to be able to open the doors of the new dining room in November 2018 during our next visit?  You can help make it possible! Every donation - large or small - makes a difference - a lasting difference.

We can do it with your help.

HARAMBEE - is a Swahili word for "Joining hands and working together for a common goal".
