Wish List
NEW CHILDREN: The construction at the Joseph Waweru Home School has progressed to the point where we are able to house up to 16 children. Our wish is for people who would support a child for at least one year.
BUILDING: Our wish is to continue construction at the Joseph Waweru Home School to accommodate 32 children.
VEHICLE: Our wish is to have a truck for transportation for goods, the boys, and visitors at the Joseph Waweru Home School. The Mini is small, retired and renting is very costly.
DISTANCE LEARNING CENTER: Our wish is to move forward with the establishment of a Distance Learning Center in Rabondo, Kenya. Education is power.
PERMANENT HONOR TO OUR DONORS: Our wish is to find embroiderers and quilters who would embroider the names of our donors and form quilt hangings for the Commons building at the Joseph Waweru Home School.
POT HOLDERS AND APRONS: Our wish is have potholders and aprons for the kitchen at the Joseph Waweru Home School.
FAMILY SUPPORT: Many orphans are living with grandparents or relatives. Often with just a little assistance they can continue to provide for these children. Our wish is for donors who would consider supporting such children.
SCHOOL SUPPORT: Students must pay many different fees to attend school in Kenya, desk fee, tutoring fee, activity fee, exam fee etc. They must also have uniforms. Many students cannot afford to attend. Our wish is for funding to purchase necessary items for school students.
CANOES: Our wish is to have two canoes for Camp Forest.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE: Our wish is for a local advisory committee to help guide the development of Camp Forest
APPRENTICE: Our wish is to have an apprentice for Camp Forest.
VOLUNTEERS: Our wish is for several volunteers both here in the USA and in Kenya.
