The Work Starts Now!
One year ago, we made the difficult decision to stop accepting new children into our program. The need had simply grown beyond our financial capacity, and we knew we had to protect the commitments we had already made to the children in our care.
Today, we have two important updates.
The first is that construction on our new orphanage is finally set to begin in just one week.
While we still do not have enough funding to complete the project, we have raised enough to begin. Over the coming weeks we will demolish the aging structure, lay the foundation, and begin framing the new girl’s dormitory.
Although reaching this point is a major milestone, moving forward without the full funding in place is not a decision we take lightly. Goma remains under rebel control, creating significant logistical and security challenges for everyone involved in the project. But after waiting for months, we believe the children have waited long enough. We have decided to begin construction with the resources we have and trust that, with your continued support, we can raise the remaining funds before work reaches a standstill.
The second update is about a remarkable young boy named Serge.
Sometimes you meet a child who reminds you why rules exist—and why, on rare occasions, they need to be broken.
Last year we decided we could not take on any new children because of our financial constraints. Then, while having lunch in Kigali, a 13-year-old boy walked up to introduce himself. He proudly showed me a remote-controlled dump truck he had designed and built almost entirely from discarded materials. His curiosity, ingenuity, and determination were impossible to ignore.
While I was in the United Kingdom this week, I purchased a collection of electronics tools, components, and an engineering starter kit to help Serge begin developing his talent.
Over the coming months, we'll challenge him to design and build increasingly ambitious projects while introducing him to the fundamentals of electrical engineering.
We're also making a much bigger commitment.
Serge will be joining the We Are Limitless family. We will move him from the local public school he currently attends into a private boarding school where he will receive a stronger education, greater stability, and the opportunity to pursue the extraordinary potential we believe he possesses.
Sometimes changing one life changes many others. We believe Serge is one of those children.
As we begin rebuilding an orphanage and investing in the future of children like Serge, your support has never been more important. There is still significant work ahead, but together we can ensure that neither this building nor these dreams remain unfinished.
