Right now is a pretty exciting time at Tunza. A volunteer named Mark, who is from Australia, visited Kibera and Tunza last month and took notice of its need for more structure and organization as well as regular funding. He is currently taking great efforts to set up and maintain a board of directors that will run the center. The board, which includes Dan - who is representing Uweza - has been meeting every week to discuss issues at the center and how donor funds should be spent. Mark is also working on bringing all former and current donors together to pool funds so that Tunza will have a more steady source of income.
He has a lot of great ideas for the center and we are currently carrying out discussions with the board of directors, Faces of Kibera and Mark to figure out the best way forward. This will be really great for the center as it has been living month-to-month for some time now and the added structure will greatly benefit the center and all of the kids. He's working on a website and we will be keeping everyone updated!

Letters
We received several letters from students that we sponsor and they are super cute so we wanted to share some of them. These three are from students that we sponsor through our collective sponsorship fund but who do not yet have an individual sponsor.

Coach's Update
Here is an update from one of our soccer coaches:
We had two friendly matches on Tuesday this week, one for our Under-10 team playing against the Under-12 Excel Academy team but we lost 3 - 1. Second was our Under-14 team playing against the Under-14 Excel Academy team but we also lost 3-0. The boys really tried and they enjoyed it despite their loss. Its hard for our boys to start winning the matches because they are actually playing against teams that normally train every day and somehow they are a bit older than them. But all in all we will keep on with the same spirit.

Jenny
Over the summer, we wrote about a girl named Jenny, who we met while visiting one of our HIV positive patients at the hospital. Jenny is 15, is HIV positive and has AIDS. When we met her, she was extremely skinny and sick and very weak. After she returned home from the hospital, we visited her at home a few times and she asked us if we could help her go back to school. She had finished primary school over a year ago but then she became sick and her grandmother, who is taking care of her, could not afford the fees for secondary school on top of the costs of her treatment. This didn't seem very realistic at the time, as she could barely walk or even sit up but we told her that we would try.
Last month, Dan and Meghann went to visit Jenny and were amazed at her progress! She has gained weight and is healthy and looks great. We decided to stick to our word and sponsor her to attend high school. Today, Dan brought her to get a new uniform and to pay her school fees and tomorrow, she will return to school for the first time since early last year.

A LONG overdue update (from Dan and Meghann)
Here is what has been happening:
Christmas in Kibera:
Meghann: The holidays were amazing, thanks to everyone's donations and holidays gifts that helped us get through it all. In anticipation of the holidays, we gathered all of the items that have been donated such as books, toys, shoes, school supplies, and sports equipment, grouped them into age groups and brought them along with us on our home visits. On Christmas day and the few days after, we visted our HIV+ patients most in need and delivered donations from clothing to school supplies to full meals for their families.
As all the orphans and HIV+ families in our program are part of the Uweza family, it was great to see them and deliver all of your donations on Christmas, and it was great to see and hear all of the thanks and gratitude we received from everyone. We at Uweza cannot even begin to thank our supporters back at home for actually making it happen.
Dan: Meghann and I visited patients in their houses [home visits] to bring them some Christmas gifts which had been donated plus some money from the selling of their beadwork, they were very happy to receive it since most of them had nothing for Christmas. The money we gave will help them provide for themselves; they really appreciated the help they received. Though some of the patients looked sickly, they did manage a smile,which was nice.
Soccer:
Meghann: The boys have been practicing only occasionally due to the holidays but are now getting back to working hard and competing in local competitions. A volunteer has organized a drive for soccer equipment in the U.S. The equipment will be brought over in February and will be distributed to the teams and we're excited about that because many of them need new shoes and some of the balls have holes due to the rough condition of their playing fields.
Sponsorship Program:
Meghann: Shortly after the holiday season brought on the first day of the new school year, meaning over 25 children in our sponsorship program re-entering school, joining school for the first time, or interviewing for a spot in a new school. The first few weeks of January were very busy and stressful for these reasons as all the school fees were due, uniforms had to be bought, and interviews were scheduled. After everything was settled, 9 of our sponsored children started attending Olympic Primary School, one of the best public schools in Kenya, and over 15 others returned to school with new uniforms, supplies, and their school fees paid.
Also, for those who sponsor a child, your sponsorship updates for January are in the process of completion as we speak! Thank you all for the patience as we have really struggled to follow the deadlines. As the sponsorship program is fairly new with over 25 kids to care for and it has been difficult getting everything together in a timely manner.
Dan: The kids were very happy to get a chance of joining good schools. But due to the current country-wide teacher strikes at government schools, all the children have adjourned going to school because there is little or no attention taken by the teachers who are demanding for the salary increase. This strike has badly affected smooth learning but hope soon all will be ok and the teachers will resume.
Jamii:
Meghann: Jamii Children's Center has reopened school, and now includes 2 classes. Prior to the post-election violence there were 3 classes, but after most of the students moved and the school struggled to find teachers, the number of students lessened. They have started the new term with new teachers and some new students and we hope that the school will continue to improve to the state that it was in prior to the violence
Tumaini:
Dan: All of the support group members are doing good and have resumed meeting though not all because most of them traveled to upcountry to celebrate the Christmas season with their family and aren't yet back but hope they will report back soon. We received bead money and distributed to these ladies whose stuff were sold and were thankful of it all. The money assisted them pay a bit of school fees for their kids and others bought food for their family. Thanks to you all who made it possible.
This year they will arrange themselves into small groups of like five then work for better results to make each one among them involved to doing stuff rather than on an individual basis; it was decided when they met for the first time this year, opening day, which is really encouraging.
As it was reported late last year, Tumaini is doing chicken rearing which is to assist in providing eggs to the patients during home visits and the kids in the orphanage. I found some chickens but they were not of good health so I decided to wait to buy good quality and healthy ones which is to be due soon. The coop is done and ready to accommodate 50 chickens. It was agreed after considering how big the demand for eggs is in the outreach program and even for the kids in the orphanage.
Tunza:
Meghann: At Tunza Children's Center all the kids are back in school doing well, and we are working together with a volunteer now on creating a better administration with a Board of Directors to make the decisions and better deal with the inflow of resources to the Center.
General news:
Meghann: For now, as we near the end of January, things at Uweza have calmed down to a more normal pace. Jen is back in the US and I will be out of Nairobi doing some HIV/AIDS research on the coast for the next few weeks, so expect us to just be maintaining our projects. We hope by the end of February, after a much needed break, to start building our projects once more. We are working out proposals for our internet training cafe and facilities, as well as continuing to plan for UWEZA Academy, a pre-primary school for needy children we hope to complete for enrollment in January 2010.

Like the Giants or the Steelers or know someone who does?
Faces of Kibera (www.facesofkibera.org) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping orphans in Kibera. Their goal is to create and support a community-based facility outside of Kibera to provide care, education and services to these children. Funds raised by the organization will be spent on housing, as well as nutritional, educational, psychological and medical care, including anti-retroviral treatment for children who are HIV positive.
We have mentioned Faces of Kibera before in our blog and we work together with them on many of our projects.
The organization is auctioning off a LOT of great Giants and Steelers memorabilia and experiences on eBay today (December 8) through Saturday, December 13. 100% of the proceeds from the auctions will go directly toward building a new facility and providing care for orphaned children in Kibera.
The auction is here: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/teacup86.
Uweza updates coming soon!

Eyesight, salaries, computers, and chickens
I received an e-mail from Meghann a few days ago with news about what they're up to in Kenya and thought I'd pass it along to any and all blog readers. They've been keeping busy and are getting a lot done!
Cyrus is doing a lot better. He is still going to the eye clinic where they have been continuing to monitor his progress and give him medicine to help reduce the swelling in his eyes. This week, he was able to get around the center by himself and even walk around in Kibera outside of the center with one of the other Tunza boys. He can't see perfectly but had definitely made a lot of progress and we are so happy that he will not end up permanently blind. We'll be continuing to monitor the situation and look into possible alternative education opportunities if his vision is not well enough to return to his normal school.
Recently, Tunza Children's Center has really been struggling to afford food and teacher's salaries. The teacher's had not been paid for months and have been teaching on a volunteer basis only. Last week, we were able to pay all of the teachers and staff salaries for one month and hope to pay them for another month next week. We also purchased beans and ugali for the center and a truckload of firewood. We received some very generous donations to help us out in supporting Tunza so thank you to those donors!
We are also getting ready to enroll the six sponsored kids from Tunza to enter classes 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 at Olympic Primary School for entrance in January. The kids that will be going are some of the top students in their class at Tunza and we're excited for them to have this opportunity.
Meghann and Dan are working on setting up an office/computer center in Kibera, as Meghann mentioned in her last blog, and they may have a way to get some computers for free. It will be a great opportunity to be able to help children in Kibera become proficient in the use of computers and we're hoping this will work out!
The chicken coop is almost finished and by next week, Uweza will have 50 chickens and many, many eggs to supplement the diets of patients in our Tumaini Health program.
There are some other projects in the works, including the implementation of solar power at some of the centers and schools we support to reduce costs and the negotiation and purchase of land for our new school but details have not yet been worked out so maybe next time we'll have more info.
Thanks for reading and for your continued support of Uweza. We are accomplishing a lot more than we imagined we would be able to when we started the organization earlier this year and it is due to the support we have received, we truly appreciate it!!

Some news
Hey Everyone!
So things have been going really well here in the last few weeks, but it still has been hard to manage all the ideas we are having. We have had some help in our organization from some students studying here in Nairobi and it really has been a big help lately. Let me first start with the updates on what we have been doing, and then move on to talk about some things we really want to start up soon.
First off, as Jen said about Cyrus last week, he is really improving quite well. I walked into the orphanage yesterday to be greeted by him walking around by himself. As Jen said though, he is still only able to see shadows and shapes, and a very small amount of blurred vision, but his progress so far has been amazing and we are still hoping for the best. In fact, he goes back to the eye doctor today so we will see what they say and keep everyone informed. I wanted to thank everyone again for their generosity in stepping up to help Cyrus during these last few weeks, it has really been amazing the amount of care and support we have been receiving for his cause.
Secondly, on Friday of last week, we sent our FIRST EVER 1st grade sponsored students to one of the best public schools in Kenya. They were not reporting to class, but they had to report in full uniform to the headmaster to make sure they would be prepared to return in January 2009. The boys were so EXCITED to wear their new uniforms and go to the school where they will be studying in a few months. We took 5 boys, who had graduated pre-primary school in December of 2007, but there parents could not afford to take them to primary school, so they instead remained behind at Jamii. But next year, with the help of your sponsorships, they will join their classmates for an amazing chance at a better education. On Friday, we arrived at Jamii Children’s Center in the morning to prepare the boys and they would not stop grinning in their new uniforms. It was great to see them walk with such pride to Olympic Primary, their new school, where we know soon they will be excelling in their studies.
We have been continuing to do home visits in our health program, as well as the support groups have been going very well. In fact, in a few hours 80 of the support group’s bags from their craft making will be arriving in America! Along with the over 500 pieces of jewelry already in America, we are going to start selling these things soon, so stay tuned.
We have so much planned for Uweza and partnerships between the members of Uweza and the communities in Kibera, it’s a very exciting time. We are currently registering as a nonprofit in Kenya so that we may be dual registered in both Kenya and the USA, and once we can achieve this registration we will be able to buy land for our new school! We are right now in the process of negotiating some spots of land we have found and cannot wait to get this project moving. The three teachers from the community involved in the start up process have really been amazing, and we have been having regular meeting with them to make sure everything can be put in place, for a possible opening of UWEZA ACADEMY in January of 2010.
Additionally, this week we will be building a chicken coop to allow for the occupancy of 50 CHICKENS (to start). We will be using this project get eggs that we can give out to our HIV+ patients for extra nutritional supplements during home visits.
Additionally, we have been looking into some other community projects, such as the installation of solar energy for our current projects, such as the orphanage and the school to save on energy costs and reduce the bill. We also are trying to get together an office in Kibera, that might act both as an office and a computer training center at a free or low cost to children in the community of Kibera. We have had some help with friends in the past few weeks proposing these ideas and offering help to initiate them, so we are SUPER EXCITED about the coming months. But these are all very new ideas, and are going to take a lot of planning and support, so please continue to stay in touch with us!
More news soon! And thank you everyone who has been making this work such a success in this past year.
