So thanks to some very generous donors, we've raised another $1000! Which gives us a total of over $1700! We're very excited, and are looking into several more schools we can visit during our time there, including in Uganda and Somalia.
We're only 8 days away from our flight to South Africa. We're buying medical insurance, copying our passports, and doing everything else possible to be prepared! Today, Kathy and her nieces got paper bags to decorate, so the kids have a nice gift basket for their supplies.

Don't know how much time/money you have there, but I noticed you said you were looking into more schools to help. Please look at Kibera Girls Soccer Academy. http://www.kiberagirlssocceracademy.org/ My English class had been pen pals with some these girls, except after a few letters, they could no longer afford to write to us. I am sure they would appreciate any help you could give them - pens, paper, and of course soccer balls.
Hey Lauren!
Thanks for the info on the Kibera Soccer Academy. We will absolutely look into visiting the school. From their website, it seems like a great program! While we can't visit every school in need, we are looking into a few more schools thanks to the success of some fundraisers. I'll keep you in the loop with what we can do. Thanks again!
Luke
Hey Lauren!
I wanted to let you know the good news that we will be visiting the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy! We won't be there for about a week, but be sure to keep in touch as we update the blog!
