It Takes a Whole Village

We spent this week working in the village of Dadaab on the ground work for the playground project to be completed in September with the short term team coming from Prince Edward Island. It is said that "it takes a whole village to raise a child", this is certainly the case in Dadaab as the community pulls together to provide for vulnerable families and young children through the local primary school. With out having to be asked, men began to show up and lend a hand as we cleared the ground, dug holes, assembled and raised the steel structure.
