The new Kenya school year began two weeks ago and we are sharing in the excitement of the new Montana on a Mission school lunch program at the Lower Oloosekin school. The students are served a lunch of either maize and beans or rice and beans throughout the week with the addition of vegetables. Usually tomatoes, carrots, onions, potatoes, and greens. The students’ parents have come together to pay a mother to cook and clean up. ❤️Currently, the cost is about 50 cents per student per day. We will be reassessing and making any necessary adjustments to the quantity of food needed at the end of each month. We also expect the enrollment to rise as news reaches other families that their children can receive a hot, nutritious meal each day at school. Enrollment was about 35 students before we drilled the clean water well there in late 2020 and now is near 60 students. Over the past year we built a new building with two additional classrooms, latrines, hand washing stations and desks for the teachers and students. We were also able to help provide the government required curriculum. The school currently includes preschool through grade 2. Most of these schools add a grade per year as students advance.

There’s always work to do.

Thank You! Matching Funds Update

You did it! Thanks to YOU we met our year-end matching funds goal of $30,000! Thanks to your generosity we were able to raise $30,000 during our end of year campaign and that means the $30,000 becomes $60,000! This couldn’t have come at a better time with the dual crises in the Philippines and Kenya of typhoon and drought. We are currently responding with emergency food relief, clean water, blankets and clothing and short term shelter as needed. We are working on a longer range recovery plan for the Philippines that will include repairing and rebuilding homes destroyed during the super typhoon and resulting flooding. Stay tuned for more information on that but for now we just want to say…
