Building Hope.

It’s very true that the shovels and the hammers are busy at Tenderfeet. The construction begun last year December and there has been great progress. It has taken the longest time but finally they are there. The Tenderfeet dream of owning their own place is finally becoming a reality.

Going back to history from kibera where they have been displaced uncountable times , then the post election violence that brought confusion to the whole country affecting tenderfeet big time, to satellite-Riruta in the small rooms and finally in few months coming they are going to have their own spacious classes.

Yesterday we were very busy laying the stones with the help of professional people who have been in building field for a long time therefore with more experience

Though the wait has been long, the tenderfeet new school construction is underway. It all started with one visit which opened up doors to many other blessings .the building which has been constructed in a rural environment will be a very conducive environment for the young ones. The air around there is very fresh free from urban pollution and noise. The area is very large thus the children will have enough space to play and run around something they have not been able to do due t o lack of space. Also the newly constructed classrooms will be capable of holding a larger number of students. This means that more needy children will be able to receive assistance which is quite a step for the project towards assisting less privileged students
