From this page, you can check the progress of the homes that the Shawnee Institute is rebuilding in Kamala (we currently have 14 under construction). I will post details of the cases (and update the details of cases posted) as time permits, but I hope that these photos will give you a sense of the concrete good that your donations are doing here, the real need that the people of this village are facing, and the sincere gratitude that they feel towards you. I hope also that they manage to convey some feeling for the human side of our work here: it's hot, dusty, rough-and-ready, and it means the world to my neighbors. Click on any image for the latest photos of progress on that case.
