Urukundo decided that, because of a lack of necessary funding, construction on the school would stop at least for now. It seemed like a good idea. It was for Urukundo but not for a community in need.
There is more than one way to be a good neighbor and part of the community. Need is always present, and charity is not wanted. People want to work and earn some money, especially at Christmastime.
What could Urukundo do to help? Our field needed to be cleared and leveled. That would benefit our Learning Center and the community.
Thanks to faithful donors, we were able to have a work day, and 17 families with no income earned a little money. Their children’s Christmas was brighter. Food is essential.
Now Urukundo has land cleared for the next project in our future. That project is construction of four more classrooms needed for the primary school.
We are blessed, and it is so important we pass the blessing along. Hope you all had a great Christmas.
