Our builder Patrick Huffman remains in Kenya while we complete the drilling of our borehole. Check out "Gail's House" on our website and see the update on the orphanage. The walls are almost up! We will be installing the solar portion of our orphanage in May thanks to a International Rotary grant for $19K.

Eleven year-old Parker is in full swing fund-raising for his Kilimanjaro climb in September. To learn more about Parker, check out his page "Parker's Journey" to learn more.

Check out Parker's interview with Mark Larabee in the Oregonian today. The article features Parker's quest to both conquer Mt. Kilimanjaro and to raise funds for Nomad Charities 36-bed orphanage in Kibwezi, Kenya. Great job Parker!

The walls for the orphanage are going up as you read this. Our American builder Patrick Huffman continues to oversee and work along side our Kenya partners. The borehole survey is scheduled for this Friday and Sat. Once completed, Nomad will purchase the land and start drilling.
The recent events in Kenya have been very hard to follow, especially those of us that work in Kenya and have fallen in love with the people, the culture and the country as a whole. We hope this will come to and end soon. Our staff and volunteers in Kibwezi are not effected by the violence, which is concentrated in western Kenya.

5th grader Parker Huffman will be one of the youngest persons in the world to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro located in Tanzania, Africa. Parker will take part in "Climb for a Cause" in which he will be raising money for Nomad's 36-bed orphanage / community center in Kibwezi, Kenya.
