Ian here, sometimes I get a bit of inspiration and hop on here to share my thoughts. Today I was woken up way too early by a text message from teacher Mercy and have spent the morning working with her to finalize a few things. Why? Because she has been frantically working to get everything ready to START Kiang’ombe school project in less than a week. Is this really possible? I find myself sitting here feeling pretty weird about it all. Humbled, proud, and more than a bit overwhelmed by the responsibility as well as the support we have received. In fact, Anne just got the mail and there are two new donations, both unsolicited support. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the amazing people who have come around us to make Ameena Project come to life. You give us the confidence to push ahead.

So did Mercy leave Karibou to start this or doing still both. How exciting either way!
