We attended several gatherings with our Kenyan friend, Evalyn Wakhusama, who is the founder and director of Nambale Magnet School. She is very grateful for the bore hole that was drilled there recently, and for the gray water and bio-digester systems, all of which are being funded by Rotary Clubs in Connecticut.
