Tue, 26 Jun 2012 02:10:13 GMT Web Easy by Avanquest Software January 11, 2011 The dispensary needs additional work, too. We need to build two housing units, a kitchen, latrines and an incinerator. It sounds like a lot, but it will all be accomplished for $35,000. Once that's completed and meets their approval, the Kenyan government will supply a live-in (hence the housing units) nurse that will work at the clinic 24/7! Jim will continue to oversee the construction until he returns in March. We hope to have most of the remaining structures for the clinic finished or near completion by then. Fortunately, donations continue to come in to help us with this endeavor. As always, thank you for your contributions, and rest assured that your donations are not squandered. We're even making it easier for you to help! If you're so inclined, just click on the PAYPAL button found on the "Contact Us/Make a Donation" page. We're happy to report that through the help of Steve's daughter, we'll be having our 3rd 5K for Kenya in May! While we're running through the streets of Fairport, another group of students/faculty from the Wegmans School of Nursing at St. John Fisher College will be tending to the health needs of the Mbaka Oromo community. Thankfully, they continue to see the value in bringing students to this part of Kenya. These group not only administers care to the children and the surrounding community, but they serve as role models to the young girls and boys that attend the schools. We've already had some youngsters ask us what they need to do so they, "... can be just like them." This compound is a huge step in that direction. THANK YOU! http://sky_blue_11_003.htm Tue, 26 Jun 2012 02:10:13 GMT Web Easy Professional Avanquest Software http://sky_blue_11_003.htm#1 Various Videos May 7, 2011
 
After months of rainy days, race day was overcast, but dry!  On May 5th, hundreds of people turned out to participate in the 3rd Annual James Nowak 5k for Kenya.  We were honored to have members of Jim's family their, too.  Some ran, some walked, but everyone smiled.  Jim's mom Betty, his sister Carolyne, and his daughter Michon (along with her entire family) made the entire day just that much more special.  As Carolyne crossed the finish line, the clouds broke and the sun shined down on everyone.  Jim was with us.  It continued to shine until the last runner crossed the finish line. 
 
The schools within the Fairport Central School district compete each year to see who has the most participants. Points are given for each student and extra points are given for teachers - and still more for administrators!  Once again, Principal Dave Dunn and his students and faculty at Martha Brown won.  That makes it a Three-pete.  The high school had a great showing too, with most of the Varsity Softball Team showing up to volunteer, along with Coach Amie Carr.  Their help was invaluable because the good weather meant that all the other teams had make-up games.  The only reason they didn't run was because they, too, had a make up game that afternoon.  As always, the students, friends and family members that volunteered to help truly made this a successful community event.
 
Thanks to all the sponsors who helped us raise more than $5,200 for the day!
