      <image:title>Library Development</image:title>
      <image:caption>Most rural students, their families and their teachers had never had access to books (other than textbooks) before. At this level, learning to read begins with learning how to open a book, and how to turn a page.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Library Development</image:title>
      <image:caption>Currently the Top Ride library holds more than 10,000 books, making it the only library of its kind that we know of in Kenya, stocked with classic children's literature.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Famine Relief</image:title>
      <image:caption>There have been two devastating droughts in Kenya in the last decade alone. Droughts especially affect tribes like the Maasai, who are pastoralist herders who rely on grazing land for their animals. The effects of one season of drought can be felt for as many as five years as the herds are rebuilt.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Famine Relief</image:title>
      <image:caption>In semi-arid Kenya, droughts can be expected to happen again, probably sooner rather than later. When they do, BEADS will respond with more relief efforts for the communities we have become a part of.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>November 27, 2016 Dear mum and dad, This is in request to my father's plea to drill a borehole to the community and family in general. It has been my father's dream to help the community get clean water for drinking and improve food supply to his big family through farming. The other main reason is inaccesibility to safe drinking water. The nearest river is the one near Kimana sec school, approximately 4 hours walk with dangerous animals on the way. The borehole is estimated to cost Kshs500,000 [~$5,000*] and he managed to raise 100,000 at the moment and with my support I am going to offer Kshs50,000 for the project. This is his message to you and you can share with friends for any support. Love, Sanaipei * $1 = ~Kshs 100</image:caption>
