For some time, the flag of our "Glenn Paige Nonkilling School boat" has not floated on Lake Tanganyika where it was transporting people and goods between the Republic of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the United Republic of Tanzania. Indeed, some boards in contact with water rotted. It is urgent to replace these rotten wood with new planks.
This operation is slow. The only resources we have come from the rental of our old Yamaha 55 that is attached to the various canoes and boats of the region. Of these resources more than 90% are allocated to the smooth running of the School; the rest (10%) repairs the boat.
However, the main objective of this beautiful project is to make our boat profitable by buying a motor 75 horsepower appropriate to the tonnage of our boat (30 tons). It would be enormously pleasant that the purchase of this appropriate engine coincides with the end of repair work. A new strong machine with a boat repaired, what recipes for our school!
We thank our nonkilling friends for their wonderful donations and we count on them for the sustainability of our Nonkilling School through the profitability of our boat. Thank you for suggestions to improve our work.
Merry Christmas ! And wish a Happy 2018 full of success, joy and peace to all.
