First Trip to Field Since the Pandemic
By Rob Bollinger | Founder and President of Nehemiah's Restoration
We are so excited to announce that the trip to Kenya we had to postpone earlier this year is back on!!! Our Founder and President, Rob Bollinger, and our Vice President Robbie Bollinger, will get to travel to the field at the end of October and after not getting to travel to the field since before the Pandemic, there's a lot to catch up on!
During this trip, we will get to have some of our final meetings with the two potential community groups we hope to partner with in the new year. These meetings will be a crucial step for us in determining if we can go through with these partnerships. We will offer trainings, hear from the groups about their experiences working with Orphaned and Vulnerable Children(OVC), and brainstorm what our memorandum of understanding with them will look like. Once we initiate these partnerships, we will be able to finalize a location for the toilet we will build in a central location for both groups. Please be praying with us that our meetings are successful and that the overall trip goes well!

Political Unrest Postpones Training
By Rob Bollinger | Founder and President of Nehemiah's Restoration
Due to unforeseen political unrest in Kisumu and Siaya counties, we unfortunately had to postpone our training with the two community groups we hope to work with. In fact, our Founder and President Rob Bollinger, and Vice President and Executive Director of Medical Health Services Robbie Bollinger PA-C, had to postpone their entire trip to Kenya during which the training would have happened, because of the unrest. Instead, they will visit for a longer period of time in October when we will be able to host the training as well as have crucial meetings with these two groups which will be key in us deciding if we will be able to finalize our partnership. Once those partnerships are finalized, we will be able to select a central location where we will build the second toilet. We are so appreciative of your patience and support in this endeavor! We know that this toilet will have a huge impact on the communities we work with!

Training
By Rob Bollinger | Founder and President of Nehemiah's Restoration
Our process continues! We have now established two potential community groups we hope to develop partnerships with this year. They are located close to each other, so we are excited about the possibility of the Community Toilet being built in an area that will directly impact both of these groups!
Next month, we will go through training sessions with these groups, so that they can support the OVC they take in to the best of their ability and also to develop our expectations with them for our future partnership. This is the final stage in determining if we are going to work with these two groups and we are excited at the prospect!!
