Thank you!

Thank you everyone for coming out in support of Harambee for All Children last Wednesday. The event was a huge success and we shared the story with more than 75 classmates and friends. We also raised $522 that will go to our projects immediately. Briefly, here is what the gifts will be going toward at the Ikumbo Secondary School, Kenya:

- Beginning construction on the school's library (the school has also received a grant from the UK for this project)
- Purchasing textbooks to bring the student:textbook ratio to 1:1.
- Setting up local wiring and "battery bank" for school to receive electricity

We will also be initiating a program to bring mentors into the school to teach the students and teachers to use computers in the classroom (more on this in future blog posts).

If you didn't have a chance to come out to the event but would like to donate, please feel free to use our new "Google Checkout" button or write a check (send me an email for details: mgartland@gmail.com).
