The
group size for this trip will be 15 to 20 people.
Our primary task will be construction on schools
in the Meru area, most likely Bishop Imathiu School
or Kithoka Youth Polytechnic. There will be plenty
to do for people of all skill levels and areas of
expertise. Prior construction experience is not
essential.
