We got this email today. It is from Leonard who is a Kenya who works for Kupenda in Kenya! Leonard is totally awesome because his job everyday is just to figure out new and better ways to help people :)
In his email to us he wrote:
Dear Adam & Patrick, Its long since you heard from me. I hope you are fine. Just to update you, the Marafa Project took off two weeks ago. The Contractor is working hard to complete the house by end of May or early June. Here are photos showing the progress of the construction works at the Site. Wishing you all the best and hoping to meet in June for the official opening. Yours Leonard
Attached to his email he gave us three photos of the construction efforts of the new boarding facility!!! I am sooo excited that it is actually happening!
Some of our friends from Kenya working on the plans for the Facility

Big piles of rocks (supplies)
This is my favorite picture... Looks like the foundation of the facility!!!On another note due to exchange rates and underestimates of the true cost of the boarding facility it seems that Kupenda needs to raise an additional $7,000.00 to complete the construction of the facility. To help Kupenda in this effort we are planning to hold a car wash at Grace Fellowship Church. We are also trying to think of some other ideas to raise the additional needed money. We are sure we will be able to raise the money. When doing such a good thing as building this facility no doubt that money will be raised in time :)
(We were told that the money is needed sometime early June.)
