Today we site visited our next school to determine what we need to have built locally before we arrive in the fall. We were so excited that we started off to the school location on a paved road. It was our first drive in a week on roads that were somewhat smooth. We drove about 45 minutes on the main road which goes up and around Mt Kenya. All smiles, we turned on a dirt road expecting to be nearby only to realize we had another 45 minutes of driving over dirt and rocks. Once we arrived, we understood why this school will never get main line power. The teachers and school were expecting us and gave us a warm welcome. Since we have a developed a power installation blueprint, we were able to determine all the requirements very easily and make the plans for the required construction. The kids sang songs for us and we also visited the only children's nursery on the area.
If funding goes well, we should return in August to complete the project. The hard work begins now as we manage construction, order and ship equipment, and manage getting everything on site...
Let the fun begin!!!!!!
