Luo People of Odienya, Kenya

 The Luo people are the third largest tribal group in Kenya. Together, the GCN team and the village people are building a much needed health center that will serve families in the vast rural area west of Odienya. From farmers who take a day off of from their work on their "shambas" or farms, to children who stop by after school, the community works side-by-side with GCN team members on the project. Along the way, they eat, laugh and talk together, sharing connections across the globe. The health center will serve an area of 4 km with a population of about 10,000 people. The center will be located on the side of the road that goes through the village, and is adjacent to a vocational school for AIDS orphans. The site has already been donated by the local governing council, and the community has donated 1,000 red clay bricks to get the project started.
