Spring '09 Trip to Kenya
High School construction, distribution of rice and clean water to the nearby community, and providing new shoes for needy kids - this was the fruit of our terrific Spring trip to Kenya. Volunteers from Southern California and the Carolinas joined Joe and Alyce in this helpful and hopeful endeavor.

Phase 1 of the High School was completed at Jubilee Children's Center, which consists of 10 brand-new classrooms that the kids are now able to use. We also completed the third floor of our new Guest House, which will allow volunteers to stay on campus, avoiding the extra cost of hotels and inefficient time spent traveling to and from the hotel (two hours one way).

We were thrilled to distribute an entire shipping container full of rice (40,000 lbs!) to hungry people in the surrounding community, and we also gave a 10,000-liter tank of water from our well at JCC to a nearby school. Samaritan Feet partnered with us to provide needy kids with new shoes, including the loving act of washing and clothing their feet.

We're very proud of our donors and volunteers, and the excellent work we all accomplished on this visit!

High School Phase 1
Ten classrooms which are being used by Grades 9 and 10 were completed, as well as pouring the foundation for the next 20 classrooms. The finished High School will form a "U" shape, and will include computer and science labs, administration buildings, and dormitories. The students currently use the classrooms as their dormitories, but look forward to completion of the entire complex.

Guest House
Volunteers will be housed on-site and be more a part of the campus experience. The shell of this three-story building is almost completed, and will be much more convenient than the hotels our volunteers currently use, which are over two hours away. With more hours at the campus, volunteers can accomplish much more on their visits to JCC!

Medical Clinic
This on-campus clinic is completed to lintel level, and will provide essential medical services to our students, staff, and the nearby community. General practice treatment will also be supplemented with services for maternity, mammography, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis.

Dining Hall
This building is complete to lintel level. Students, staff, and teachers all currently eat in a crowded environment in the kitchen or outside, so the new hall will provide comfort and shelter at mealtimes. We will soon be adding a roof and floor, and then the chairs and tables can go into place.

Kitchen Improvements
Our existing kitchen is getting a much-needed equipment upgrade, including a new larger gas cooker, a stainless-steel commercial refrigerator and deep freezer. We'll also be adding a washer and dryer for the laundry section, which will be a great timesaver over handwashing.

High School Phase 3
Ten final classrooms will complete the "U" shaped High School for a total of 30 classrooms in all. A computer lab will enhance the facilities in this final phase, as well as dormitories, an administration building, dining hall, and a kitchen.

Staff Quarters
Our dedicated staff members currently rent quarters in the nearby community. The addition of official staff quarters on campus will be much more convenient for the staff, and will assist them in supervising and helping the kids anytime the need arises.

Water Bottling Program
At JCC we have the benefit of an on-site well, and bottling and distributing our well water is planned to help offset expenses. The water will be purified through reverse-osmosis, and its quality will benefit the community as well as the school.
