Our plan is to organise a vocational training program for young people of this region who have no job possibilities otherwise. The long-term goal is to build classrooms and eventually even dormitories to be able to make training available to young people from that region.
School Building Construction Continues
The construction of the school building continued. Building materials for the next stage have been collected – iron bars, wood, cement, bricks, stones, etc. The columns have been filled, and all the materials for the large second-floor slab and the bricks for raising the walls of the large multipurpose hall have already been gathered. The first part of the slab has been laid. The goal is to construct a two-story building. During its training courses, the centre will be able to comfortably accommodate more than thirty students from across the region.
Goal: vocational training program
Training in Nsioni begins
The first five students are trained in agriculture and fish farming.
Building a well
To get anything done in this country, especially in the countryside, is nothing short of a miracle. It is truly admirable how resilient people in these areas, including Joseph, can be. As recommended by the well builder, 1500 bricks were made, burned and transported to the farm from a place 6 km outside of Nsioni. Fine sand from a river 5 km away, which filters the water in the well, was brought to the farm. The workers dug 7 meters deep. The well is 2 x 2 m wide.
