SPONSORSHIP UPDATES
Mwache is located in Kinango District in rural Kenya. Most people in this region rely on livestock and mixed farming. The environment is very arid and often there is a deficit in household food sources.
Household sizes are large, with an average of 6-8 members. The learning environment for students in Mwache is generally difficult due to food and economic insecurity.
Furthermore, a severe lack of desks has required many students to learn on the ground or by sitting on uncomfortable stones.
Trivani is partnering with Koins for Kenya to provide desks to Mwache Primary School, which guarantees to provide a better setting for attention and overall performance of our sponsored student.

Back to Dubai We Go We Go!

Oops we did it again... that's right folks... We moved back to Dubai!

In October we returned for Dubai "the sequel".
Here are a couple of shots of our new place in Dubai's Silicon Oasis...

I wanted a square dining room table that sat 8 and couldn't find one anywhere so...
We built one.

Here are the legs for our benches (which we had to have cut twice because my math skills aren't the best and Kenny was a PE teacher)

One of the benches assembled
Note the Ikea tool kit... love that store!

Our table on our table. The one we used for construction was an old headboard we found and converted to a desk with some patience (taking the staples out was not good times), some shelf paper and a set of Ikea table legs.
