Ukambani School Project
|
Some of you may already know that the Ukambani Region in Kenya is one of the most impoverished places on earth suffering
from disease and drought, lack of education and resources, and a people disheartened by generations of difficulty. Daniel and
Rebecca Mbiti (pronounced (m)BEE-TEE – the (m) is barely discernable) are part of an organization within this region in a city
called Machakos who put it in their minds to build a local school to combat this dire situation. Unlike the U.S., it is assumed
that schools be self-sustaining.

The land on which the school is built must produce enough food and water to provide for all
the children in the school on a daily basis. The school employs locals to farm, cook, and of course teach. Oftentimes, this
school provision is the only meal some of these children will eat in the course of a given day. Most of us have already heard
the "story" and some of us even contribute to organizations who have devoted themselves to the cause. Well, in this particular
case, these are my friends and suddenly it’s personal.
We teamed up with some other friends of mine that are part of an organization called Horizon Initiative who are determined to
get the word out. That is why a portion of all my sales will be going towards this project until its completion. Please join me
in supporting this vision.
