Happy Monday everyone! I just wanted to provide a quick update. Bramuel met with the official today from the Japanese Embassy. He was able to give a tour of the hospital and discuss everything that they've accomplished to date, as well as where they would like to be in the future. The official told Bramuel that they had visited a lot of different projects around Nairobi, but his was one of the most organized. They also extended an invitation to submit a letter of intent regarding the building project. If this goes well, they may request a full blown proposal later on, but so far so good!

Bramuel and some members of the hospital Board are working on establishing a tentative budget for the building project. Bramuel asked the Board at a recent meeting to review the hospital Strategic Plan. The Board recommended that they begin looking at what steps are necessary to work toward building their own facility. This task is actually part of that review process.

Bramuel said that they should have this information completed within the next few days. One of us will post it here as soon as it's available.
