Project future/immediate Goals and Appropriate of funds

1)Meal program- children with full stomachs are much better prepared for learning
2)medical supplies- many children have incurable illness' but there are always routes to ease suffering and like all medecines they cost money
3)Permanent facilities- the current iron sheet shacks are holding up, but a security of school property is an issue in the slum, and we hope a cemented foundation will be a symbol of our schools stability and strength.
4)Student and administrative supplies- We ned everything from pens and pencils to notebooks, and any kind of drawing or art supplies. Stephen Roger, (one of our volunteers) A kiwi teaching In England, has already graciously allocated some school supplies, and we hope other educators will follow suit.
5)landscaping and site developement- We currently have a problem with the local goats consuming any vegetation on our lot, as well as local residents using our river bank as a garbage dump. With a completed fenceline we will have the chance to grow grass for the children to play on, and even some trees and flowers to brighten their days.
