Crossroads Springs is an orphan care center and school in Hamisi, Kenya, for children whose parents have died of AIDS.  Children in Early Childhood classes through Grade 7 are provided food, clothing, education and loving care. Founded in 2003, 40 children entered the school in 2004.  Now 250 children are learning at Crossroad Springs.  An unfinished building was completed for the school and all activities, thanks to the hard work of the Kenyan village and the generosity of donors in North America.  As children moved up through the grades, joined by new Early Childhood students, they outgrew the original space, and a new classroom building has been under construction.  The original building will continue to house kitchen,  dining room, Early Childhood classes, and expanded dorm facilities for children who need to live at school.

Much progress has been made in 2008!  Thank you to everyone who has given time, energy and financial support to move the construction along!
