Our school, previously called the Langata Center, has also changed its name to the House of the Rising Stars. Along with the change in name comes a big move for the center. Four individuals from Italy have generously opened their hearts to our children and donated funds to build a new home for the Rising Stars (Thank you to Father Felice at Utume). Construction has begun, and we will be able to accommodate 130 boys as of December 2010. This has always been a dream for Canadian Hearts and Hands, and our prayers are being heard. Our objective now is to build a new school to serve all of these new boys, as well as all the children from the community, which includes the Kuwinda Slum. We are looking for support from all those who have always lent a helping hand and opened a generous heart for those in need. Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated; not only from Canadian Hearts and Hands, but from a group of children whom you mean everything too. Your generosity over the years has actually been an inspiration to these children and a model in the way they wish to lead their own lives in the future.
