We anticipate to improve the quality of the facility and to make a joyful learning experience for young girls in Mandera. We hope to do this by buying land and building a new state of the art school next to the current facility. This will cost us a total of $80,000 and we forecast to finish this project December 2013.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Persons involved:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Bashir Osman</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Abdisamad Ali</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Mohib Khan</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
