I was so excited to receive an email from Moses Mbugua this morning updating me on the project and situation at the camp.
“For the block houses that we started 5 of them are done IDP's are living in. The rest 5 houses Irene said she will provide the roofing, doors, and windows this week. For the timber houses it is easy to built and cheap to buy the material's. We also have iron sheets houses they are the cheapest and most of the IDP's like the houses. Generally in the camp IDP's are still facing challenges:
1. Lack of food.
2. Sheltered as some tents completely torn.
3. Medical facility , such as medicine.
4. School fees for secondary school students.
5. Uniform and textbooks for primary school students.
But all and all we still have hope because we still have new projects which were started by the volunteers. These are poultry for broiler hens to support the clinic. We have a fish pond to support the ECD.”

It has been a long process but we are making progress! It looks like I will be back in Kenya in April. I can’t wait to go back to the camp and spend time with the community. It will also be a great opportunity to review the project and set new goals.
Thank you again to everyone for your support.
Hugs,
Lauren

Hi Lauren, I'm so impressed by this project and by the tireless effort that you and the camp community are devoting to it! It would be a privilege to be involved in Rebuilding Lives so please keep me in mind for June & July :-). I hope your trip in April brings great rewards.
