Project work Zanzibar, January 2017

Our vacation namely implementation of projects, was limited to four weeks only (27 December 2016 - 27 January 2017). Definitely not enough time for our zest of action.

Nevertheless with help from our project manager King Banda, we were able to conduct some projects. As usual the clearing of the container posed the biggest challenge. It always takes a lot of paperwork and running from ministry to ministry to get all the necessary signatures and seals. But eventually we succeeded.

The following projects were implemented in January 2017:

Project CHOO: In the district of Kidoti we built on seven different sites in the hamlets of Kidagoni, Mtakuja, Bundi and Gereji 16 toilets.

Project SKULI: We upgraded the village school in Kigunda with another 20 desks.

Project RIZIKI: We bought school books and pens for all the sponsored pupils directly in the village of Nungwi. Most of the kids collected them in person at our houses. Five of the pupils will finish school in 2017.

Project DAWA: The district hospital in Kivunge was supplied with dressing material, crutches, bed sheets, sterile gloves, clothing for the operation room, cannulas, syringes, gauzes and glasses. The children hospital of the Gasparini foundation in Kendwa received baby bottles, plasters, dressing material, band aids, sterile gloves and gauzes.

With all the collected shoes we arranged a bazaar in the village of Kigunda which was much appreciated by the locals. The earned profit we handed over to the village committee. With this money they will finance the necessary repainting or repairs of the toilets we built in 2012 and 2014 there.

The computer schools of Nungwi and Kigunda received additional computers and screens.
