Saving Obama School

The official name of the school which the senator promised to help is: Senator Obama Kogelo Secondary School.

What the Obama School needs:

• Water
• Sanitation
• Electricity
• Remodeling
• Security
• Maintenance

to bring water to the school by sinking a borehole and building a water tank, erect a perimeter fence, complete the science laboratory and add much needed new classrooms, additional latrines, and a school dining hall

For the things that are in constant demand--e.g. school supplies, wages for security guards, spare parts--I'd say that a two year funding is enough.

The school's principal suggested a minimum of 8.2 million Kenyan shillings which is equal to roughly $129,220 at today’s rate. That shouldn't be too tough.

So here's what we have:

• Domain name: obamaschool.org
• Email address: obamaschool@gmail.com
• Pay Pal Account; the account leads to my personal account until I can get enough money to set this up as a non-profit.

What we need:

Someone to assist in setting up the website. (No I didn't set this one up. Typepad did.) And someone here in the states who knows about the logistics of these things.

BTW, don't forget to donate to this site (Luo American Inc.) also.
