Early Childhood Education — West Pokot, Kenya
The children of Sisit in the West Pokot region of Kenya gather for kindergarten under a tree with a volunteer teacher. These are “community assets” that were incorporated into the estab- lishment of an early childhood education program by Africa Exchange, a ministry of CBF field personnel Sam and Melody Harrell. The complete program included the building of a school/church building (with a roof!), a clean water distribu- tion project and a suspended bridge over a permanent river.

Suspended Bridge — Masai Mara, Kenya
Luca’s Crossing is a suspended bridge over the Talek River in the Masai Mara region of Kenya. The footbridge was built by Africa Exchange in partnership with Bridging the Gap Africa and leadership from CBF field personnel Sam and Melody Harrell. The bridge provides the local Masai community access to health facilities, school and market activities. This crossing is critical during the rainy season, especially since the river has an abundance of hippo and crocodile.
