| Dr. R. Meshack Isiaho founded Crossroad Springs
in 2003 and formed a Board of Managers which first met in May, 2004. A
representative board was selected to bring expertise in education, social
services, community leadership, farming, national AIDS services, and local
congregations. An unfinished brick building, originally intended as a
tourist hotel, was chosen for the children’s school and residence
because of nearness to utilities, health center, and recreation field. |

Reconstruction began in July, 2004 and children
began Early Childhood Education classes in mid-August. A volunteer
work group of Canadians and Americans joined Kenyan construction workers,
educators, managing board, director and children in September ’04.
Major construction is nearly complete. The kitchen and underground
water storage tank were finished recently! When dorm rooms are completed and
furnished, up to
100 children will live at Crossroads Springs in addition to 65 day
students. Forty children have moved into completed dorm rooms which are
furnished with beds, mattresses, blankets, mosquito nets, and cupboards.
Your support is needed: A
$400 donation will support one child’s food, clothing, health, housing and
education
for a year.
A Well for fresh water has been dug!
The water is "Clean, Clear and Tasteless!" Read about it in the
May 2007 Newsletter. |
