Everyone involved with this project was delighted to get two independent and unsolicited e-mails from friends in Zambia who have helped us over the years.
Our good friend Sandie made a detour to the village and met with Wilson our resident manager and carpenter. He saw tables and chairs made in the woodwork classroom plus lots of school uniforms being produced in the sewing room.
Peace Corps volunteer Whitney who has been working in the village for the past 18 months also wrote to say how well things are progressing. She too was particularly pleased with the sewing area.
We'll let you see them when we receive more of the eagerly-awaited photos from them both. Sandie did send us a lovely picture of him (on the right) with Wilson.
Now we are planning to get a shipment of extra sewing machines to the project as well as supplementing the tools already on site. We are working with our friends at “Tools for Self- Reliance” on this next phase.
Then the next challenges are to get the training centre registered with the government education department, to get extra staff working on site and to do some “finishing” touches to the structures.
Please support us as we continue to help develop this project!
