Back in Auburn

Kaleigh and I are finally back in Auburn and Kenneth is back in Nigeria.  As we settle back into our routines, I hope that our supporters will continue to keep track of our progress.  We have an enormous amount of research to do concerning the type of school we would like to build in Zahn Banla as well as the way in which we would like the school to operate. 

We discussed with our team the time and purpose of our next trip to Liberia and Kaleigh and I are fully committing ourselves to the extensive fundraising efforts that will surely be necessary.  We would like to return within a year to complete several projects that will be integral in the construction and operation of our school in Zahn Banla.  We would like to be able to: (1) clear the 10 acres of land that was given to This is West Africa, (2) stake out potential sites for the school building as well as the housing for the teachers, and (3)  start construction of a water tower that will supply the school and the teachers' housing with running, purified water.  These are our basic goals and we will probably be undertaking some other minor projects within the community such as installation of hand pumps, septic tanks, etc.

I would like to continue to update this blog with my ideas for this project.  We plan using solar power, hyroelectricity, satellite internet service, and other new technology that will enable our school to be a leader in the fight against the disasterous state of the education system in rural Liberia.

I would like to say thank you again to everybody who has helped our cause and continues to help our cause.  We receive checks almost every week and for that we are eternally grateful.  We hope to have our official tax exemption by July or August and in time we will be distributing deduction receipts.  We will also have a website launched in the coming months that will help our continuing effort to raise awareness of our cause.  Please stay tuned to this blog for more updates.

Thank you,
Robert
