Progress
on Our Newest Dream: the Orphanage

We succeeded in paying for the land in 2009. The
land, 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.
Recently 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.
We will post pictures of ongoing construction. Come back soon! |
