Happy New Year!
Recently, Juma sent me an email showing me just how much our donations can accomplish. The current priority at Amani is to expand, adding new rooms and facilities to accommodate more children and provide them with better resources. At Christmas, we sent 950 USD from loving sponsors and volunteers like YOU. Here is a snap shot of the things that money became for the children at Amani:
500 Bricks
15bags of Cement
12pieces of Metal Bars
5kg of Banding wires
80buckets of Concrete
27 Pieces of Wood
5kg of Nails
and lots of Hired Labour!
YOUR Donations make this possible. Thank you, from all of us at Amani!
