Week # 4 Update

Things are still progressing well here in Kumbo.  Everyone is healthy, happy, and we are well on our way to adjusting to this new culture and pace.  The days have ben busy, but rewarding.  The center is really starting to take shape, and we should have the main hall of the Community Center fully constructed very soon.  Once the main hall is complete we will begin the Sacred Link Jewelry Apprenticeship.  We have selected 5 applicants to begin this three month intensive.   Chelsea, Petra, and Briana are busy at work finalizing the curriculum for their first five students, and Jeff an I are working hard to get all of the construction, agricultural, and administrative initiatives underway.  It seems that at every step there is a new twist or opportunity to explore.  Needless to say, the work has been very fluid and exciting.

The web speeds are still quite slow, so posting video and photos are not an easy undertaking.  I did send some pictures and videos to our webmaster in hopes that he would post them to the web.

That is all for now.  More and more info will be coming.
