Our new building project is a perfect example of the old adage, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”
We were in for a shock when we went to Kenya in 2008 to purchase the sprawling one-story building and grassy compound we are currently renting in Machakos. We learned the landlord had changed his mind about selling it, and that we only have about three more years there before we have to leave.
Initially, it was a big disappointment, but we soon realized we could dream even bigger, start from the ground up, and build a building better suited to our needs.  Our Kenyan staff, kids and advisory board are currently evaluating space needs, so we can start planning to accommodate future program directions.
