A Lease is Signed for the New Building

Good news! The lawyer was hired, and the lease agreement for the school's new building was signed Friday, March 23. This was a huge step for the school. The rented building -- though it still leaves a lot to be desired -- will nevertheless be a major improvement over the previous locations of the school.

Nick Kipkorir traveled seven hours by bus from Eldoret to assist Margaret with the paperwork and details. He was a big help to Mama Margaret during this stressful process.

The building is still partly under construction. The three rooms which will serve as classrooms are complete and will have concrete floors installed (currently, there's only dirt) in time for the arrival of the students on April 2nd. The remaining three rooms are still under construction by the landlord. They will eventually serve as a kitchen and additional teaching space.

Also, thank you for your prayers for Samantha, Mama Margaret's daughter. She has recovered from her illness and has returned to school.

More pictures and news are coming soon!
