Update March 21
Hello dear friends!
A lot happened in March. The most gratifying news is that Marco has finally received his work permit. For us, this is a real milestone and an answer to prayer - especially because it is almost impossible to get a work permit due to Corona. Many thanks to everyone who has prayed for years - your prayers mean a lot to us and make a difference!
Center of Hope:
The BPV-Architects in Hamburg have had a great concept for this for a long time. In the meantime, we have received a cost estimate from the Kenyan construction company that will put the concept into practice and developed a campaign based on these figures.
This is what our “Center of Hope” will look like one day.
On this picture you can already see that the whole thing is really an impressive project with charisma. The ring-shaped school building in the middle is framed by the three orphanages and the elongated dormitory for our boarding school students. This concept symbolizes the idea of a center, but the architectural structure also expresses our idea of a unity with infinite possibilities for our students.
You can find more pictures on social media, on our homepage and in our crowdfunding campaign at www.betterplace.org/en/projects/72407. There you will also find further information on the finances required and the next steps. If you have any questions or want to support us in realizing the project, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Of course we are aware that we need staying power to implement our heart project, but we will do it together with you! We are really looking forward to implementing our “Center of Hope” bit by bit and to experience how human lives are being changed there.
Thank you:
At this point - as always - many thanks to everyone who supports us through prayer, finances or practical support. We are totally grateful for each and every one of them, because our work here in Kenya is only possible through you.
Best regards
Marco and Joy
