Planning for Destiny School
Working with Destiny is something I constantly do. Right now, we have lots of clothes and toys that people who left Kenya gave to us to give to the school. I'm planning to meet the headmaster soon to discuss the near future for the school. A friend in Sweden has started a collaboration with the local Rotary club. I sent them lots of images and information and they agreed to help us fund a few projects. The biggest problem in the school is now that they are not able to pay the teachers. This is really a big problem and teachers are leaving the school. They depend on volunteers and that makes the students days very unpredictable. We have said that we are only supporting long term investments, because if we leave, the school would be dependent on us. Now we are discussing if we should change that approach and sponsor some teachers salaries. This is a big problem, and very conflicting because if there are no teachers, there will be no school. We still haven't decided what to do but I'm considering starting a fund raiser for teachers salaries. If someone agrees, we can say that the money doesn't come from us, but from another party, and it is only short term.
