New School Building Construction - Finished!

Sorry, it's been way too long since I last posted. March and April were generally quite hot, with very full days of teaching and other responsibilities. There was enough time and energy (not only physical but mental!) each day for the essentials, but not for "extras" like blogging--it fell completely off my radar screen.

We've now finished the first term and have most of the month of May off.  I'm currently in Nairobi, where it's wonderfully cool and refreshing. :-)  So, here, at long last, are pictures of the new school building, which was completed mid-March. Three of the four classrooms are currently being used.
