Our kitchen is being updated with more containers to hold foodstuff and a fridge.

• We will also add another water filter.

     Following the meeting, Brian and Sheila visited the family of Lucy, whose mother , Dominga ( our former teacher ) died last year suddenly in October. Here is a photo of all the children and their father.

• Due to the generous support of donors for a special fund to raise money for this large family, all 9 children are registered and will be attending school this year.

       Thanks to everyone who helped this become reality in memory of Dominga to whom education was so important.

The first project of the year is to repaint portions of the centre which have seen a lot of ware over the years.
