The Roof is On!
Here it is, folks, the last day of roofing!
At the end of February, we finished the entire roof of the main building.
The next construction step will be to begin finishing the walls, doors and windows on the northwest wing, at the far right side in the first picture. These will be the first classrooms for students who will be entering Simbolei Academy in January 2020.
In the meantime, we will continue to use the “soccer field” to grow maize to help fund construction.
Here in the U.S., volunteers continue to clean, catalog and pack more than 6000 books for the Simbolei Community Library.
Also, March 25-31 is our annual Schuler Book Days for Simbolei fundraiser. You can join the fun by shopping at Schuler Books in Okemos, Michigan and saying “Simbolei” at check out to direct 20% of your purchase price to be donated to Simbolei by Schuler Books. Or, online, you can shop at schulerbooks.com and enter “KENYA” in the coupon box to donate 20% of your purchase to Simbolei.
Every day we appreciate all you do to help make the dream of Simbolei Academy a reality. Things are happening fast now and Andrea and Richard and family are busy preparing for relocation to Kenya.
Let us know if you would like to volunteer or learn more about Simbolei by emailing info@simboleiacademy.org.
