William and me arrived on the 7th July to Mombasa, and all this month of July, with the help of three of our volunteers, was devoted to buy the school material for the 51 sponsored kids in Tsunza, to purchase the necessary material to build the library, latrines and showers, to start building the two remaing classrooms of Barcelona Block (that this time were sponsored by Treviglass School students thanks to Peter and Vanessa Bragg), pay for Habel’s university, go school by school to pay for the fees and material of Babu Tom’s and Patricia’s children (workers of the Orphanage), help a teenager over 18 to leave the orphanage by paying for his rent in a new room, and so many other things.
As members of the directive board of Children of Africa, we both helped organising all the volunteers in their staying in Tsunza and Likoni, we picked them from the airport, and acquired and transported all the necessary material for all the projects, from the delivering of school material to the sponsored kids, stones, bricks, iron sheets, cement, wood, handcarts, wheelbarrow, tools, needed for the construction of the library, classrooms, showers, and latrines.
We were also in charge of getting the varnish and painting needed, of organising meetings with the main builder, and design the projects, organising meetings with the kids and villagers to raise awareness about the importance of education, health, and hygiene, and were in charge of the supervision of the construction of the two classrooms at Timbwani school in Likoni.
We also set up a day informing the villagers that we would be holding a meeting for those families who need help for their kids to go to school, and took photos of more than 300 children who claimed for help. One of our big targets now is to find sponsors for these kids (we will upload the photos soon).
The total amount that we spent from Children of Africa’s account for all these projects to take place was 7,000 Euros, and 3,000 remained in the Kenyan account for them to start building the water tank in Tsunza, even after we are gone, and to start building the place for the project of carpentry workshop that we hope will provide job for five people.
