Progress on the Tutoring Center

I don't know if it loooks like much to you, but this is looking amazing! They have even put spme cute trim on the outside that will look great when it's painted. We swung by to talk to the arctitect and discuss colors with Teresa. Monday morning our group will take over and our goal is to have it doen Thursday night. Ambitious? Heck yeah. But we're ready to work. The medical team is working out details like projectors and compressors. The dental team is finding lawn chairs and ethyl alcohol. And I've been tasked to choose the paint color. So many details! We'll keep you posted.

Troy, Deven, and Abe talking with the arctitect. This room will be an office for the FAHUM staff. Most of this 2nd level that we are building is going to be used for parent education and counseling. They will be trained on how to keep their kids in school so they won't lose their sponsorships. It will also double as a place to teach the kids ballet. The tutoring center is focused mainly on 2 things: keeping kids in school and involving them the arts (among many other things.)

This is the home of one family who has 4 kidws who are helped at
the center.
This is why we do this.
