THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE WALK-O-THON TO RAISE FUNDS TO BUILD THE SECOND DORMITORY!!!! aS YOU CAN SEE (in the screen shot below), $6,195 was raised!!!
Five thousand will finish the second dorm and the remaining amount will build latrines and a bath "shed". Scroll down to see pictures of the second dorm. The cement was put in for the floor (rocks are put in to save on the amount of cement needed), the walls to separate the bedroom and doors/windows are going in. The glass panes for the windows are being cut in Goma and then transferred to Kikamata over the terrible roads!!!
Did you know? A moderately active person will walk a total of 110,000 miles in their life time.
That is the equivalent of 5 times around the earth at the equator. Imagine that!!
