Ten for Tenderfeet Launched

First, please note we have officially launched the Ten for Tenderfeet sponsorship program. Please check it out and see how you can join the Tenderfeet team in serving the desperately poor children of Africa's largest slum.

The school resumed this week. Classes are still meeting at the church, and though the pastor has allowed them to stay a few more days, they are expected to move out as soon as possible.

Some construction remains for the new building. Plywood must be put up on the walls to protect the children from being injured by the bare metal edges. In addition, a latrine needs to be completed, and wiring needs to be installed for classroom lights. Lastly, the kitchen will need to be finished.

Shadrack's Surgery

The Tenderfeet school is still at the church awaiting the new floors to be installed in the new building. Matters have been put on hold as the Tenderfeet team has dealt with Shadrack's surgery and recovery, as well as the illness of both Mama Margaret's son Ezra as well as Teacher Karen's son, Ian. Fortunately, the church where the school is currently located has allowed Tenderfeet to stay several more days.

The school will be in recess on Good Friday, April 6th, and the following week. During the week school is out, the steps to move the school will be finalized. The children will still be fed while school is out, but no lessons will be taught.
