New Kitchen at CCC

Thanks to Ahead Energy ( www.aheadenergy.org0   we are almost done with our new kitchen. You can bet our wonderful cooks Marcy (on left) and Damaris are happy, no more breathing black smoke!  This is such a wonderful addition to Chazon Children Centre!  Thank you Ahead!

Heading For Kenya and CCC

I am excited to be visiting  Chazon Children Center again in May. Right now I am trying to pack a very large suitcase with too much stuff, and keep the weight to airline limits. I hate packing almost more then lugging it.  I am thrilled that the kids at my church have collected shoes and socks for children of CCC.

I found a great deal by the way for just over $800.00 round trip from NYC.  Turkish airlines goes through Istambul what an airport!  I use Kayak which notifies you of price decreases then I buy when prices are low.

Orphans need a home in Molo Kenya

Pastor Lucy Njenga talks about the plan/hope to purchase an unoccupied hotel in downtown Molo, Kenya. Lucy is one of the directors from the Chazon Children's Centre in Molo and they hope to purchase the hotel and convert it to a permanent home to accommodate the need to house and feed local children orphan.

Can you Help?

Visit To Molo and CCC

I made a visit to Molo in June to see everyone at the Centre. They are doing well and progress is really happening. The crops are growing (thanks to the water) there were lots of potatoes which the kids love. Its a nice change from Ugali! They were awaiting installation of the wind turbines donated by Jetpro which had already arrived. I understand they are now functioning and will get some pictures up as soon as I get them.

Lots of volunteers have been coming to CCC and also helping out it so many ways. Lets keep this up. If interested check out the website, www.chazonafrica.org for more information. We are planning on connecting this blog to the website soon. Check out new pictures on flickr

Planning Next Trip to CCC

I am excited that I will be going to Kenya again in February. Will be happy to see everyone at CCC.
I am also thrilled to report I am making progress on getting wind turbines to provide electricity to the school. This came about by happenstance as I was put in touch with Ahead energy right here in my home town of Rochester NY.

The generous owner of Jetpro from China is donating two turbines and accessories to get started. We hope to have two students from the University of Rochester go to CCC to set up the system. Check out their turbines they are cool!
