On May,2006, Kevin and Naomi Scantlan took a vision trip with Buckner Orphan Care International representing the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Missouri. Their goal was to see the work being done by Buckner in Kenya and see how the CBF of MO's goal of building a Community Developmental Center would work. They traveled to Busia on the Ugandan border, to the slums of Nairobi, and to Marigat, 5 hours north of Nairobi. Here's a link to an article that Naomi wrote about the trip: CBF Connect article, July 2006

Community Development Centers (CDC) are built to be a all purpose building for the local community. Some of the purposes envisioned are preschool, church, community center, etc. A brick making machine has been purchased to make mortar-less bricks out of the sand and materials there. The bricks are interlocking. Rainwater is stored in cisterns, but plans are to build wells for the community. The buildings are also built to be able to dissipate the heat. Additionally a community garden is close by.
