Since the mzungu volunteers left Mnukwa in November, Wilson (our carpenter and manager) has moved into the house next door to the classrooms with his wife and family. He has also spent 3 months building secure cupboards in each of the 3 classrooms so that the tools and sewing machines are safe, and has finished the doors to all the rooms.
The next “big” move is for the community to set up long term programmes using the equipment they now have. This still requires our help and encouragement, as having such a facility and the excellent tools is new to the village.
Hands Around the World has started working closely in Mnukwa with another British-based charity, ZOE, and two of their workers who are planning to visit Zambia in June will be following up our project.
They will also be looking at the next phase of our involvement in the community - to help build a new maternity ward next door to the Mnukwa clinic. The aim is to get the community to make all the bricks and do the work themselves with our financial support. Having successfully built the staff house last year we are optimistic this can be achieved, and look forward to hearing news about it.
Thank you to all those who have generously helped in the past, in whatever capacity. Your encouragement is much appreciated! And please help us to continue to support this great project!
