Combining Taekwondo and Excellent school

Today I paid a visit to the school. Mainly I wanted to give Reverend George some money for our ongoing projects, but I also introduced him to Max.
Max is working on a very interesting project: He is going around to the slums trying to pick out a few kids that he can train in Taekwondo. He was working with the National team this year, but they were not making the cut to participate in the Olympics. Max is thinking that he needs to start finding the next national team and by picking a few talents at a young age he thinks Kenya will be unbeatable. It's also a good way to get a few talented kids out of the slums. He realized that the school actually was located a short way from where he trained as a youth.
I also got to see the chairs that our money bought for the teachers and some of the desks under production.
It's always humbling to go to the school, but today I mainly focused on getting things done and looking out for our guest. One person that joined us has the capability to give us some much needed help and I felt responsible to give him a lot of information and also that Max would be able to get what he needed to move forward.
