Merry Christmas from Tenderfeet!
Construction on the Tenderfeet school foundation continues, slowly but surely. Please see photos below. Notice the beautiful red soil in the photos. One of the main reasons this land was chosen over many others is because of the soil quality.
Red soil is the ideal soil for construction, it doesn't shift or settle like clay soil, which is a nightmare to construct on and can wreck foundations in the long term. You can also see the new Tenderfeet water tank, which is absolutely necessary due to water shortages and problems in Nairobi.
Deepest thanks go to the Collette Foundation as always. They have been working with Tenderfeet for years to realize this dream, and have been the sponsor of both the land and building. None of this would be possible without their commitment to the vision of Tenderfeet having a permanent home.
