Building a railing

Kayamundi…the name doesn’t do the place justice…what an inspirational, stressful and amazing week. Our group decided to partner with Kuyasa, the local learning center that was our home base for the week. We saw the vibrant children as the greatest asset to the community of Kayamundi.
We decided to assist Kuyasa in improving their already amazing children’s programs, including a feeding scheme, after school tutors and computer classes, to name a few.
Our main project was to construct a safe railing for a not so safe staircase that over 200 children use a day.
With the help of your guide, Mama Aloni we spread out our resources allowing us to finish the railing, assist in feeding 200 plus kids a day, teaching classes from junior kindergarten to grade five and in between doing whatever odd jobs Kuyasa staff asked of us.
Overall, we saw an awesome example of how God provides when his children choose to follow him. We found ourselves arriving at Kuyasa just when there was need, and with God’s help we were able to help full some of these needs.
God is truly at work in the community of Kayamundi and it was awesome to see and be apart of this work.
