Preparing for Kiomboi

-

One of the plans we have for Tanzania is to help the school at Kiomboi with their technology. Part of that plan is to use some of the funds which were donated to purchase wireless capability for the computers which Mount Olive bought and installed for the school in 2011. 

In Arusha, after leaving the ALMC, we went to an electronics store to make our purchase. The  interior of the store looks much like such a place in the US. The neighborhood was more unusual, to us, but typical of what we saw throughout Arusha. 


When we arrive in Kiomboi we will determine if there are other needs we can meet. The funds which were given and the budget for the trip are certainly generous enough to allow us flexibility.

A bit of history.  Many years ago, when the school was a school for girls, Mount Olive had had a strong relationship with the school.  It housed around 30 girls, and Mount Olive members paid for the construction of the Dining Hall (among other things.)  Here is that Dining Hall. The school hit hard times, the relationship with Mount Olive was broken for a while, and several years ago, the school found itself with only nine students. The headmaster of the school
