The second term of school started today. We are just about ready to move in to the new school building. Lahash representative Edwin Angote took a series of photographs of the new building.
All that remains is to plaster and paint the walls, install the glass in the windows, and finish some of the floors. Of course, there will also need to be some cleanup of the construction materials, but that won't take long.
Tenderfeet's wonderful partner, the Collette Foundation, has remained steadfast in providing the funding for the construction all the way to the finish line.
In Riruta, the church where Tenderfeet has been located has agreed to let the children remain for a few more days until the building is complete.
In Kibera, the government has promised to demolish the buildings along the railroad tracks -- including Tenderfeet. However, the actions have been delayed because they are expecting a huge backlash, including riots and looting. So we will try to keep the Kibera school going at least for the next few weeks as the story of the railroad tracks unfolds.
Stay tuned for more updates soon.
