Farm Update<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We have now drilled the borehole for the farm with the donations from our sponsors and the monthly accumulation of standing donations over the last 12 months and the results were far better than the Geologists report. We have if needed 10 cubic meters per day and this is at the end of the lesser dry season so the prospects of having\u00a0good water throughout the bad dry season of June to August is excellent. The quality of the water is drinkable so we are already selling to the neighbouring villagers so they don`t have to travel so far. We have already bought farming equipment and Karimba John hopes to have 1-2 hectares planted in the next month with tomatoes and with the profits we will have enough money to farm all the land by the end of the year so the profits of the first crop will help to finance the second and so on. Each crop takes 3 months to harvest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Health Post.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0This is running well and although a little low on drugs we have enough in reserves to rectify the situation.\u00a0 We have introduced a Client Sheet which stays with the client as she\/he sees the various departments and then goes to Admin for payment, verifying and stock adjustment. This was implemented at the end of February with a complete stock check so we know when to order items which are low. When we had our last visit on the 11<sup>th\u00a0<\/sup>March they all said how well it worked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Community Centre.<\/strong>\u00a0 It was pleasing to see that the local church now uses us for their weekly meetings. The shop\/canteen still is doing well and has become the daily focus of many villagers. The computer lessons are progressing and the photocopier we recently purchased with the remainder of the saved donations is assisting the school and Health Post as well as making an income from the sale of copying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>School.<\/strong>\u00a0Thanks to a very generous donation\u00a0 we have nearly bought \u00a0all the books for the children and those we cannot get or are too expensive we can copy with the photocopier which also doubles as a source of income as there isn`t a copier for 20 kilometres. With this donation we also were lucky enough to be able to buy more desks, cupboards, drawer units and tables. Also chalk, pencils, paper and exercise books. The children\u2019s playground equipment has been ordered and will be installed in June.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Future Projects.<\/strong>\u00a0The government is expanding educational provision in Rwanda with a free Nursery education being introduced and a policy that primary\/secondary schools must expand to make provision for Years 11 and 12. We talked to the District Health Officer, Martin, who is responsible for local schools; he was very helpful and arranged a meeting with the local Museyni School Head Teacher \u201cBishop\u201d. The difficulty of expanding educational provision is how to get the necessary buildings, equipment and qualified teachers in place. The government can readily provide cement, steel roof trusses, corrugated sheet, a construction supervisor and pay for the teachers. But currently the local school has a shortage of classrooms and even more of equipment. The challenge for us now will be to sort out in discussion with Martin and Bishop how we can best integrate the provision we have made to date with the developing state system and support the development of quality educational provision through to 18 years of age. If we can achieve this with a partnership with Musenyi School then all the village children will be educated within the local area and will only leave to go to university. The Headmaster, Bishop, is very well educated and we will be working closely with him in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Future Events&#8230;.
