I've been social media quiet, which is generally how I like to live my life, but I'm back. It's been 2 months since I returned from Kenya, yes! time flies just like that. I think I needed to re-energize a bit, and a moment to process and absorb. Even if things seem stagnant, they definitely have not been.
Mama Hope's Director Nyla and our Program Manager Lauren are there in Kisumu now checking on all of the work there. All the construction for the center is finished and we need to furnish this center before moving kids in. We are aiming for an opening at the end of September. The moment of bringing this center to life with the laughter and joy that children innately bring is coming. This is Mama Hope's longest involvement in a project and we definitely plan to see it to the end.
Many of you probably have not been on the donation page in a while, but we have raised over 14,000 USD. The goal of 20,000 is looming near, just a little bit further.
Thank you to everyone who purchased sandals and other items from the Weebly store in support of the center. More recently, big thank you to Chris Dambach and his family for their support with their food truck Bacon Bandits during Jazz Fest in Syracuse. The food is great, so definitely check them out if/when you are in the Syracuse area. http://nybaconbandits.com

One more thank you to Grant and Todd Slater who allowed me to talk about the center and table at their International Film Festival in Hamilton, NY this past week to raise support. http://www.slaterbrothersentertainment.com/#!about/c20r9
