Diary of improvements in Kenya: we are starting to see results!
Since the last post we published in Tumaini, Diego has continued working on the improvement works at the Nairobi orphanage and the results are already beginning to be seen! The improvements have started in the children's room with the bioconstruction system. The walls of the children's room are almost ready! On July 7 we finished filling them with mud and straw. Afterwards, we had to wait a bit to apply the plasters (a mixture of earth, lime and straw to smooth the walls completely).
