If you had been here on the afternoon of March 20th
you may have seen about five kids together ferrying one basket of books from
the Sh’tungulu’s home to the new little red building
overlooking the soccer field. The
building is known as the guest house or to those of us from Kenya, the butchery
due to its color. What was going on?

| Helping out! |
In December a team from the States came out to help build a
guest house here at Mavuno.
It is made
up of two separate rooms both with a bathroom.
Since September when the Sh’tungulu family joined Mavuno the Early
Learning Center has been located in part of their home.
Now with the new guest house available the
Center has been able to move into one of the rooms.
So on March 20
th adults and kids
alike took on the job of moving books, shelves, posters, and much more to the
new school building.

The next morning with much excitement the children gathered for their first day
in the new school. Some of the
excitement died when the door would not unlock.
To make matters worse the key then got stuck in the lock… The fourth person to try finally managed to
get the door unlocked and school began.
We are all so thankful for this new building
to use for the school!
