Pistis Projects –UPDATE
August 18th, 2007
I am terribly sorry for the delay in preparing this update. I have been swamped, working from 6 or 7 am till 9 am for Terra Soft, off to Pistis for the whole of the day, and then back to my host family’s home and local internet cafe to catch-up on Terra Soft again.
Just today, Saturday, have I found time to post the prior entries, upload photos, and update the financial tracking of the donated funds for the projects we are undertaking.
In short, until I have more time, this first week (Tue-Fri) was a huge success. We scoped the electrical wiring project, hired two local young men to complete the second floor of the classrooms, and dove right in to digging the trench for the new water line from water tank to the new bath house. The basketball court too sports an update with refreshed paint, a full game engaged just hours after it dried.
More to come …

Hi Kai.. do you remember me Sandy Breen. I was on a river trip with you on the San Juan River in May or maybe it was June of this year.
You told me about idealist.org. I was checking out the website today and through a couple other searches I found your blog. I remember you saying you were hoping to go to Kenya and help build an orphanage. It looks like you made it. What a great project and grear place to be.
I will continue to check your blog and see how things are progressing and how you are doing. Stay in touch and maybe I’ll see you down the river again sometime soon.
Take Care
Sandy
