We have just returned from another amazing day at Esiteti Primary School. Today we were honored to visit the new community that was constructed across from the school. For the past five months the Esiteti women have been working day and night constructing their new homes made of sticks, mud, cow dung and recycled materials. Walking into the hut you are overwhelmed with the smell of the small burning fire and the darkness of the home but you can feel the immense amount of love and hardwork that went into creating this home, and the honor that comes from that. The women are so proud of the community they have created, which allows them to be close to their children while they attend school. Due to the opening of Esiteti Primary School five new communities have been built in the area, all for the purpose of providing an education for their children.

The children were so happy to be able to write letters and make art work for all of their sponsors today, each child was so focused and put so much love into their work. Today they also took part in HIV/AIDS and malaria prevention education, which was taught by Maasai healthworkers from AID Village Clinic. As the health week continues more and more people from surrounding villages come seeking health care and HIV/AIDS testing and counseling.

Wishing you were all here with us witnessing the differece your support is making. From all of us here and from the Esiteti community Asante sana (thank you so much)!!!!!
