We got a note from Mama Lucy recently and wanted to share a few pics of how construction of the new Shepherds Junior school is coming along. It truly is incredible what she’s been able to accomplish in 30 days with just $30,000. We’ve even learned that she’s tapped water on the land, which is incredibly exciting!

It’s often said that things happen “Pole, pole” in Africa - Swahili for slowly, slowly. (Notably, “pole” also means I’m sorry for you!) Mama Lucy, though, somehow manages to consistently move “haraka, haraka” (hurry, hurry!). This is a woman on a mission.
