Dear Barry,
Greetings from Lodwar.
Thanks for your email and nice pictures.
We appreciate it very much that you have planned a cycle cross again on August 27, 2006 in support of St. Lukes School and Home for Deaf Children, Lodwar, Turkana, Kenya
Your slogan to the sponsors is right : your small change can make a big change in Lodwar, Turkana.
The deaf children like to go to school, they are eager to learn. In the Home "St. Luke" all staff (and children) are "working" well and with pleasure and that is very important.
You know last year we finished our buildings: a studyroom with a library on the compound of the Home and we extended the compound of the Home and you have seen the new nursery. Two classrooms and a staffroom with store. We admitted 18 deaf children and all is going well. For the library we bought some books, we bought furniture for the nursery classrooms, for protection we installed three streetlights, but we did not finish all solar installation in the buildings of St Luke's Home for the deaf.
Herewith separate a few pictures.
Barry for now kind regards, also from Annie and greetings to your wife and relatives and the people who are sponsoring this project.
Also on behalf of the staff and the children.
Ben Janssen.
