Orphans
Community Center in cramped, rented space |
Progress
on Our Newest Dream: the Orphanage
|
First
building
underway in 2009: the workshop | We
succeeded in paying for the
land in 2009. The property, located at the edge of Olasiti village, is productive farmland,
with a high water table, near a road. So far, Zenan and the
children have planted a thorn fence, banana trees, and vegetables.
In addition, local volunteers started building a storage and
workshop to support the orphanage.
In 2009 the Dorobo Fund received
a large gift from the estate of a generous donor, allowing us to begin
construction. The new, spacious orphanage will
have clean
well
water, solar electricity, and rooms for cooking, eating, sleeping, and
studying. |
