Glenn Paige Nonkilling School Boat is still under repair. It is a delicate and slow operation : select the rotted wood and replace it with new ones.
We preferred to use the wood of species called "Mukalakata" reputed to be hard and suitable for this work. However, these woods are difficult to find, which delay the good progress of works.
One of the repairers says "tukipata mikalakata, mingi kazi itakwisha mbio"; this Kiswahili sentence means "If we have in stock a lot of mikalakata the work will move faster"
While waiting for the complete repair of our boat, we rent our old Yamaha 55 horsepower motor to other boats and thus be able to cope with the needy expenses of the School.
With this project, we have to replace this old engine for a more powerful motor (75 horsepower) and adapted to our boat.
We sincerely thank our generous donors for their support in 2016 and count on them for the new year 2017. We thank you in advance for your suggestions to improve our work.
Wishing you and your Family peace and joy in this holiday season.
Happy New Year 2017!
