First off, enjoy what some are saying is the luckiest day of the year...
Project Kesho is a non-profit organization founded by our son's elementary school teacher, Cathi, and her husband, Ian. It's "dedicated to improving the tomorrows of East African communities through the education of today's children." This group of young adults is spending time on the ground in Iringa, Tanzania, East Africa this summer to help improve access to quality education and improve the lives of children halfway around the world from sunny Washington. This summer, they are joined in Africa by anothegr teacher from our son's school, Amie.
I'm cleaning the garage this weekend while our kids slip and slide after a week at the beach, and these young teachers are spending the summer doing some real good.

Project Kesho is focusing its programming efforts during 2007 on one small
community located in Iringa, Tanzania. Iringa is located in the Southern
Highlands of Tanzania. It is the political, economic, and cultural hub of this
region of Tanzania. The town is located along the Tanzam Highway, which
stretches from the capital city of Dar es Salaam, along the coast of the Indian
Ocean, and all the way through Tanzania to the country of Zambia. (This highway
eventually continues all the way to South Africa.)
