Construction Update

The construction of the new Tuleeni orphanage and community center is coming along beautifully!!! They have finished the first floor, (which includes the kitchen, library, computer lab, clinic/pharmacy, and vocational training/arts and crafts room)  the stairs, the second floor walls, bedrooms, bathrooms and have started the framing for the roof. Be a part of this INCREDIBLE project and help keep the construction going by donating today at www.neemainternational.org every penny counts so much!!! 

Above, Jackie Weiss (Founder of Faraji Foundation) and me are laying a few bricks for the second floor walls!
